spotify-easyrpm can create a systemd user timer job which will run daily and 5 minutes after user login.
This will call the script to do a light check against the Spotify debian repo for a new release.
If a new release is found, a build process is kicked off in the background and the final RPM will
be placed on your machine in a local filesystem repo (/var/cache/spotify-easyrpm).
The next time you run the system updater or zypper up you will see spotify-client appear as an
update alongside regular updates.
If you want to modify the update check timer, the file is at $HOME/.local/share/systemd/user/spotify-easyrpm.timer
Please see the systemd documentation for more information
