on skyaware 3.8.1 the range rings go back to default when i reset the map…is this correct? (ie. there are 3 rings, if i add a 4th ring and “set” all is good until i reset)

I have 2 setups, one is Piaware SD card, the other is Piaware Debian add-on.
Edit: Yes, I see that now when resetting the map.
See here:
I had to build it for the build to be happy on my RockPi4.

@mikkyo Thank you. That solved it. Had to install a few missing dependencies to get it to build, but runs like a charm. I used the following code:
cd
git clone http://github.com/flightaware/tcltls-rebuild.git
cd tcltls-rebuild/
./prepare-build.sh stretch
cd package-stretch/
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -b
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i tcl-tls_1.7.16-1+fa1~bpo9+2_arm64.deb

Actually, most previous versions require this too; it’s just that we only discovered the problem recently, and it was mitigated for most jessie/stretch installs because a suitable version of tcl-tls was already provided in the FA repository (so if you were using the prebuilt piaware packages from the FA repository, you’d get a fixed version of tcl-tls too)
The bug that this fixes is that without a fixed package, piaware can entirely hang if it loses the network connection to the FA servers in some cases.
The piaware_builder README.md for 3.8.1 talks about the tcl-tls requirement, FWIW.
Building from the tcltls-rebuild git repo is the right thing to do to fix it.

Should this warning be ignored?

You need to install the devscripts package

Thanks for guidance.
As I did not know this solution, I did not install devscripts, ignored the warning, and proceeded with building/installing piaware. Apparently piaware is working OK. Is this acceptable or missing devscript will affect performance of piaware in some way?
Well, you’ll have the wrong version number. It doesn’t really matter. I should probbaly make sensible-build.sh halt on error though.
I got correct version number even without devscripts

No you didn’t - a bionic build would usually be 3.8.1~ubuntu1804+1. The version number is modified by the dch step.

Thanks, I will now install devscripts and rebuild the package.
OK, installed devscripts and rebuild the package.
Now I have 2 sets of packages, the old one without ~ubuntu1804+1 and new one with ~ubuntu1804+1

Not sure if i am the only one but feeding to FR24 stopped on both of my devices with the upgrade to 3.8.1
a simple restart of the script helped, but i was surprised about it.

On my device, the :8754 local page is not working, but it’s feeding still the FR24 webpage. Restart doesn’t help.
However, this might not be appropriate discussion here.
