Hello, for the reccord, I did already gave a try at packaging 0.4.8 (I just pushed my changes to the packaging git). It seems however that upstream have patched one of their dependencies again (I may be wrong because I just updated the patches and gave it a spin without really investiguating the issue reported yet).
I strongly think that this is wrong to modify dependencies, so I'll try to come up with a solution somehow. If you can help, eg by providing a patch for this issue, it'd be really appreciated. If you want to become co-maintainer of minetest, I'd be very happy to welcome you in the "group" (I'm alone so far). Many thanks also for pointing me on the packaged mods, I wasn't aware of them. Bye, Mt. PS: I should also push my minetest-modpack-mobf at some point, I guess.
