Take a look at the dump1090_builder link above, it is what drives the package build, if you want to build the same package as the FA one then that’s what you need to use.
Ohhhhh! I missed that part of dump1090_builder and was wondering where the heck the the “flightaware-1.2-3” version is set. That’s what I get for trying to do it manually without following the instructions closely. Thanks for the help.
