Package Request: spotifyd

[ericonr]

Void already offers spotify-tui in its repositories, so it would make sense to offer spotifyd as well, which is a daemon for streaming from Spotify. This would allow one to stream music without requiring any proprietary clients.

The only potential issue is that Rust can't use proc_macros when it's running in musl systems. I don't know much about Void's build infrastructure, are the builds for the musl repos done with musl systems?

Offering this daemon would especially help musl users, due to the impossibility of compiling it in their own systems.

There already is a request for spotifyd #15218

I'm following this too, the mr still is stuck. Let's be patient, @abenson seems on it.

[ericonr]

I have no idea what happened, because I had actually searched for spotify in both issues and pull requests, and hadn't found it. Sorry! Should I close this one, then?

[stacyharper]

Np it happens. :) Yes I guess you can close this one and subscribe to the other one. Have a nice day !

I'm working on it -- having issues with aarch64-musl and getting it to support dbus/etc.

[ericonr]

Got it, good luck! Let me know if there's anything I can do (I have tried building it on my Manjaro installation, will see what happens when I transfer it to Void).
