Looks like in homebrew spotify-tui is marked as deprecated. Is this true?

yes. if you look at the code page you can see that there have been no commits since 2021. this project is considered abandonware.

consider https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/releases

While it's true that there haven't been any commits in a couple of years, the reason why Homebrew marked spotify-tui as deprecated is because it uses OpenSSL 1.1, which has been deprecated. You can see this by running brew info spotify-tui.

@apprehensions Although I appreciate your effort in moving users to an actively maintained alternative with a certain level of feature parity, I disagree with your classification as abandonware, especially when the program still works and that the author is reachable.

As @monfresh have said the deprecation marking should be due to OpenSSL in which it will only affect builds. It can be fixed by running cargo update (ref: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/pull/1041).

@akankov Try if https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/pull/1041 fix the build process for you, if it does maybe give this a reaction to push the author to merge it.
