Hi Martin and others, Thanks for improving free software :) I think we need to have latest minetest 0.4.8 packages in Debian ASAP, so bellow are my suggestions:

I don't know what is the situation with minetest dependancies, but there are deb packages of minetest 0.4.8 release, see https://code.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+recipe/minetest-c55-stable http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/minetest-c55/packaging/files Maybe these packages can help you to understand where is the problem? It seems minetestc55 0.4.8 packages were build by PilzAdam <pilza...@minetest.net> or Sebastian Rühl https://launchpad.net/~sebastian-ruehl > 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). Thanks for the invitation, but currently I can't become co-maintainer - my family steals whole my time :( Maybe previous minetest Debian packager Michael Gilbert <mgilb...@debian.org> or minetest-c55 packagers could help you? > Many thanks also for pointing me on the packaged mods, I wasn't aware > of them. I think minetest-mod-mesecons is very important - it's packaging code is already on debian git, see git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-games/minetest-mod-mesecons.git It seems there is only one improvement needed - to include textures by default, Dominik George <n...@naturalnet.de> tried to include textures, but without success, see http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/minetest-mod-mesecons.git;a=commitdiff;h=9165ad921a5ad811e7b83499e0fe7e2cd4a4bb88 Btw, I can't import your minetest-modpack-mobf code from debian git - error: "404 - Reading tree failed" appears, see "Import details" errors at https://code.launchpad.net/~baltix/minetest-c55/minetest-modpack-mobf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/157669450/baltix-minetest-c55-minetest-modpack-mobf.log also at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/minetest-modpack-mobf.git;a=tree > PS: I should also push my minetest-modpack-mobf at some point, I guess. Yes, it would be nice to see minetest-modpack-mobf packages in Debian and Ubuntu, Thanks again, Mantas Public organization "Open Source for Lithuania" - www.akl.lt > On Tue, Nov 26, 2013 at 04:38:56PM +0200, Mantas Kriaučiūnas wrote: > > Package: minetest > > Version: 0.4.7+repack-3 > > > > Minetest package is outdated in Debian - new minetest 0.4.8 was released on > > November 2013. > > 0.4.8 release contains lots of improvements and bugfixes comparing to older > > 0.4.7 version, which is currently in Debian. > > It's very important to have 0.4.8 packaged, because lots of mods doesn't > > work with 0.4.7 > > Also it would be nice to add to Recommends (or Suggests) fields some mods, > > which > > are already packaged in Debian: minetest-mod-moreblocks, > > minetest-mod-moreores, minetest-mod-pipeworks > > > > 0.4.7 → 0.4.8 New Features > > Big gameplay changes: > > Added drowning (PilzAdam, RealBadAngel, BlockMen) > > Added weather support (proller) > > > > Smaller gameplay tweaks: > > Added new sounds (someone who can't decide if he wants to be called > > mitori or mito551) > > Don't predict placing and removing nodes if interact privilege is > > missing (PilzAdam) > > > > Logistic changes: > > Clean up rendering code a bit (increases FPS by 5 to 10) (Exio) > > Added support for IPv6 (matttpt) > > Don't write player files all the time if they are not modified > > (PilzAdam) > > Made the main menu Lua based (sapier, kahrl) > > Change static ContentFeatures array into a vector (rathgit, kahrl) > > Allow multiple singleplayer games at the same time (PilzAdam) > > Added texture pack selection to main menu (Novatux) > > Don't write files directly but rather write to a temporary file that > > gets renamed after succesfully written;
