Originally created by @bbpltergiest on GitHub (Dec 27, 2025).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/902

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to have a -git version of the package in the AUR, called spotify-player-git, that automatically builds from the latest commit of the main repository (https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player).

This way users could have access to the most recent fixes (like the rate limit / too many requests issue) without needing to manually build from source every time.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually cloning the repository and building/installing with cargo install --path . every time there's an update (very inconvenient)

Additional context
Having a -git variant would be the perfect middle ground between stability (regular package) and cutting-edge fixes (git version), which is a very common and useful pattern in the Arch ecosystem.

you can just git pull inside of the repo directory instead of cloning every time. and aur helpers will build anyways so all that changes is that it updates with that aur helper 🤷

imo it's easier to just update with yay -S spotify-player-git, even if only for organizational purposes

theres a spotify-player-full-git that does this, but modifies the default features. You can use paru to modify that and remember it during updates

if you use yay you can add --devel to yay -Syu and itll check development ( -git) packages along with regular system update.
paru automatically does this

will you continue to maintain and update it, or does this process happen automatically in some way?

The one I uploaded?

Since it uses the latest commit it's automatic. I also use it myself so I will maintain it
