Ver 3.8~dev on Armbian Buster / OrangePiPC

For Armbian Buster, the piaware ver 3.8~dev does not have issue of dependencies. Here is the procedure I took to do this:

pi@orangepipc:~$ uname -a
Linux orangepipc 5.3.9-sunxi #19.11.3 SMP Mon Nov 18 18:49:43 CET 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

pi@orangepipc:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"

(1) dump10909-fa

The package install works fine. No need to build it from source code

wget http://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/files/packages/pool/piaware/p/piaware-support/piaware-repository_3.7.2_all.deb 
sudo dpkg -i piaware-repository_3.7.2_all.deb 
sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get install dump1090-fa 
sudo reboot

(2) Piaware

Package install fails. Build from source-code

2.1 - Install dependencies

sudo apt install debhelper tcl8.6-dev python3-dev python3-venv libz-dev dh-systemd    
sudo apt install tcl tclx8.4 tcllib tcl-tls itcl3 libboost-system-dev     
sudo apt install libboost-program-options-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-filesystem-dev

2.2 - Clone source-code, checkout to dev version, and build the package

git clone https://github.com/flightaware/piaware_builder.git
cd piaware_builder
git checkout dev

./sensible-build.sh buster
cd package-buster
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b 

cd ../
sudo dpkg -i piaware_3.8.0~dev_armhf.deb

2.3 - Configure

sudo piaware-config allow-auto-updates yes  
sudo piaware-config allow-manual-updates yes  
sudo piaware-config feeder-id xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

2.4 - Checks what version installed

pi@orangepipc:~$ apt-cache policy piaware
