[Linux] Fedora RPM package for F17-F19

[leamas]

Current method to install the spotify rpm is based on the rpmfusion lpf-spotify-client package. Basically, this automates the process of downloading, building and installing a spotity rpm based on the official Debian packages.

EDIT: Bug reported (page 19), temporary work-around published.

EDIT: New solution based on the rpmfusion lpf-spotify-client package. Old  method deprecated but still available.

EDIT: updated for new upstream release: 0.9.4.183.g644e24e.428-2

EDIT: Solution updated for 0.9.1.55.

EDIT: Downgrading procedure to 0.8.4 published

EDIT: Update header to include F19

EDIT: Solution updated for 0.9.0.133

EDIT: updating link

EDIT: new solution for 0.8.8 published.

[leamas]

I have updated the spec. New release: 0.9.4.183.g644e24e.428-2.

As usual, no real testing besides starting the thing done. Feedback welcome!

Just tried 0.9.4.183 on  fc19.x86_64

I can build the package OK and install it, but I get the following errors when trying to start the software:

/usr/lib64/spotify-client/spotify: /usr/lib64/spotify-client/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: version `OPENSSL_0.9.8' not found (required by /usr/lib64/spotify-client/spotify)
/usr/lib64/spotify-client/spotify: /usr/lib64/spotify-client/libssl.so.0.9.8: version `OPENSSL_0.9.8' not found (required by /usr/lib64/spotify-client/spotify)

The libraries are present in /rpmbuild/BUILD/spotify-make-90fa8c93714abb79ff25a8798b961b827575817b/fedora/amd64

If I reinstall 0.9.1.55 everything works fine.

[leamas]

Will look into this tomorrow. Thansk for reporting (but, really, what's happening here?)

--alec

[leamas]

Runs fine for me ... "scratches my head".

What do you get when running "which spotify"?

[ivnmad]

"which spotify"?

/usr/bin/spotify

.. anyway, I found out what the problem is..

After installing the update, Fedora cleans the old installation..

.. in doing so, it removes the 2 libraries..

If I uninstall the old version and then install the new one, everything works fine..

.. so, all good, but people might experience a problem when upgrading from an old version to a new one..

[ivnmad]

... and, btw, thank you for your work as usual..

[leamas]

If you can't upgrade something is seriously broken. I'll look into this later. Thx for sorting this out (still puzzled, for sure...)

[datenzecke]

Upgrade worked for me without any problems (unlike ivnmad, I did no uninstall / reinstall) :

• $ su -c 'yum install ./spotify-client-0.9.4.183.g644e24e.428-2.fc19.x86_64.rpm'

Really really thank you for the great job! 🙂

[ivnmad]

The problem must be with my system then and how it creates the new package..
I've just tried to start all over again, and it doesn't work if I either do an upgrade or a new installation..

I'm attaching a file with all the steps.. 

[leamas]

I can see nothing wrong in what you do... stay tuned...

[leamas]

Can't reproduce this.

I think   we need:

- The outcome  from 'ldd /usr/lib64/spotify-client/spotify | grep 0.9.8'

- That you explicitly nvoke /usr/bin/spotify ,

- After installing the chrpath package, the output from chrpath -l /usr/lib64/spotify-client/spotify

- The output from ls -l /usr/lib64/spotify-client.

[leamas]

OK, here are dragons. If the spec works for anyone as it is  it's certainly  sheer luck. Back later.

[leamas]

Spec file updated:

* Sat Oct 12 2013 Alec Leamas <leamas@nowhere.net> - 0.9.4.183.g644e24e.428-3
- Updating to latest spotify-make
- Fixes for directory layout in 0.9.4, notably SpotifyHelper in Data.

 Sorry for a sloppy update, I didn't check this one as I should have before publishing.

ivnmad: if your problems persist, please provide info as requested above.

[ivnmad]

.. upgraded to F20 and everything woks fine..

It must have been a problem with my F19 installation even if I really don't understand where the problem was..

Never mind..

After upgrade to spotify-client-0.9.4.183, client fails with "failed loaded skin"... any suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Same here, Fedora 20 🙂

[Jamiroph]

I'm really sorry if this has been posted already or if I'm Necroposting but I've ran through your guide on Fedora 19 and I get the below after running 

$ env QA_RPATHS=$((0x10|0x08)) rpmbuild -bb spotify-client.spec

I don't know why but for some reason whenI run the command a "clean up" is run that appears to delete the RPM its just build. Any guidance on this would be most appreaciate thank you.

That message basically means the you have two different versions making spotify loading wrong resources. Look for the files in /usr/lib[64]/spotify and make sure you don't have other versions of these around. Clean up everything and re-install the rpm - that should fix it.

[leamas · Accepted solution]

That does not remove the rpm, just the temporary build directory 🙂 

Isn't  /home/jsanders/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/spotify-client-0.9.4.183.g644e24e.428-3.fc19.x86_64.rpm  there?

I tried it on a different machine I've never tried to install Spotify on before, and got the same error
