Homebrew installer marked as deprecated

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

[apprehensions]

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: #1041).

Any plans to fix this?

@akankov Try if #1041 fix the build process for you, if it does maybe give this a reaction to push the author to merge it.
