PiAware 3.8.1 Available

When I try with Disco, the package doesn’t generate a folder with 3.8.1 in the name.

~$ sudo dpkg -i piaware_3.8.1_amd64.deb
dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘piaware_3.8.1_amd64.deb’: No such file or directory

Nope. That’s not built by piaware_builder. I don’t know what exactly you ran and I’m not going to try to guess at it one question at a time - if you think there’s a problem here then please provide a complete description of what you did and the output you got.

Not trivial and unlikely to be in a point release.

Wrong folder.

piaware_3.8.1~ubuntu1904+1_amd64.deb

Seems after completion of dpkg-buildpackage-b, you forgot cd ../ and issued command dpkg -i

I didn’t forget. This is what is in that folder after the build:

~/piaware_builder$ ls
buster

You see why this won’t work:
" sudo dpkg -i piaware_3.8.0_amd64.deb
or
sudo dpkg -i piaware_3.8.1_amd64.deb

I have to issue:

~/piaware_builder$ sudo dpkg -i piaware_3.8.1~ubuntu1904+1_amd64.deb

Only a comment, but I don’t see range ring adjustment with the add-on package under Buster, I do however see it working on the Piaware image.

It is better to use:
sudo dpkg -i piaware_3.8.1*.deb

Can you try clearing your browser cache? And is your location set on that PiAware?

Clearing cache worked.
Thank you Eric.

I just compiled on the Odroid N2, for arm64. It is running Stretch. The compiling went fine, but the install gave the following message:

A google search found that tcl-tls version 1.7.16 for arm64 is available for Buster, but not for Stretch. Does piaware 3.8.1 really need the updated version of tcl-tls? If so, I would need to upgrade to Buster

Y’all beat me to the punch! PiAware 3.8.1 is here.

Good job! A few more enhancements and I’ll uninstall VRS. :wink:

Things like showing a picture of the aircraft when clicking on Skyware, and more aircraft info, such as year manufactured, serial number, etc.
