FYI, I have v3.3 on a Pi4 running under Raspian Buster which is Debian 10 based. A fully integrated image with a fully functioning v3.3 included is available at https://www.edgeradio.org.au/rivendell-on-raspberry-pi.html. Kindly provided by Alastair Ling there at Edge Radio in Australia. It works well and Alastair supports it as well.
Many thanks to him for his support and hard work.
