Script for updating Raspberry Pi OS

Shairport Sync update script for your Raspberry Pi

Introduction

With the new AirPlay 2 support Shairport Sync gets updated regularly and it is a bit of a hassle to update it manually. This two scripts will do it for you if you are using a Raspberry Pi.

Basically it just executes the commands from the official build guide for Raspberry Pi OS with AirPlay 2. The modifications made in the configuration file are not touched. This script is tested on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspberry Pi OS.

If you install Shairport Sync for the first time, follow the instructions on the Shairport Sync GitHub page.
