FR24 and MLAT Disable

I think they still use an ancient version of dump1090 which doesn’t recognise the mlat flag as their default decoder,

No, it fully recognizes mlat flag. It is built using source code of dump1090-mutability ver1.15~dev which is fully mlat-compatible.

The dump1090 they are using is build by a Debian group using source code of dump1090-mutability ver 1.15~dev, and hosted in Debian repositories, renamed as EB_VERSION (actually DEB_VERSION with D not appearing due to some bug in their code).

Their Pi24 image / fr24feed Bash script sources it from Debian repositories. Anyone can install it by following command:

sudo apt install dump1090-mutability

Dump1090-mutability ver 1.15~dev package now available in Repository!

Heh, I always wondered why they decided to call it “EB_VERSION” when packaging this.

Turns out that they didn’t, it’s just a typo in debian/rules:

export DUMP1090_VERSION = $DEB_VERSION

(Make doesn’t follow quite the same rules as shellscripts for variable expansion, so that needs to be ${DEB_VERSION} to work correctly
