Is there a date for a supported release for trixie?

2

Flighaware has not yet made available their piaware & dump1090 packages for Trixie from their repository.

Also, they have not yet announced their target date for release of these packages

However you can build & install these packages on Raspberry Pi OS Trixie, using automated scripts. as shown in post linked below. These scripts use source code provided by Flightaware on their Github site.

These scripts work both on arm64 / armhf (Raspberry Pi OS) as well as on amd64 / x86_64 (Laptop & Desktop PC):

Install Piaware on Debian 13 Trixie

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Build process first installs tool & dependency packages (which are large in number), and after that clones Flightaware’s source code and starts building the package. This process takes long time. Please be patient and let the script take it’s time to finish.

Pre-built packages of piaware, dump1090-fa, piaware-web and dump978-fa for Raspberry Pi OS Trixie

Some times ago, I have built and uploaded to my PPA (Personal Packages Archives) at Github, following packages:

For RPi arm64

  • piaware
  • dump1090-fa
  • piaware-web
  • dump978-fa
  • tcl-tls

For PC (Desktop & Laptop) amd64

  • piaware
  • dump1090-fa
  • piaware-web
  • dump978-fa
  • tcl-tls

These can be installed by method given here:

debian13/README.md at master · abcd567a/debian13 · GitHub

NOTE:

I strongly ecommend that after installation of packages is comleted and running ok, remove entry of my PPA from your RPi’s apt sources list. This can be done by following commands:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list

sudo apt update

I was able to get everything installed using the pre-built packages. I got a number of errors trying the “built it yourself” method. I am using a raspberry pi 5.

Thanks!

Glad to know you succeeded.

To avoid conflict with Flightaware repositiry (when in future they release these packages), please remove entry of my PPA from your RPi’s apt sources list. This can be easily done by following commands:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/abcd567a.list

sudo apt update
