I don't understand some lines in the service script. Ok, I do understand what they do, but I don't get why they are there. The original script tries to install dump1090-mutability. But that shouldn't be part of the init-script. Especially as there are multiple flavors of dump1090 out there, it either looks like fr24 tries to overrule them, or they want to keep the need for compatibility checks low.
But on my system I found that installation line to be missing so it might be, that the installer.sh found my already installed piaware background and skips this rule.
If it is the support thing, I wonder why all services work fine on dump1090-fa but fr24 is pushing on dump1090-mutability?
This all tastes a bit bitter... Like fr24 wants to gain control over the feeder exclusively. I simply don't understand why they not simply create some installer packages (.deb or so) that have some dependencies declared and concentrate on fr24 feeding but accept any dump1090-* as a source?
