For the sake of simplicity I'd like to run Minetest from a repo instead of compiling it on every release.
0.4.9 is out but Debian Sid is still on 0.4.8. I realize it's only been a few days and the packaging is maintained by the Debian Games Team, but I'm curious how long it usually takes to get from release to that release ending up in the Debian repo.

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
Roughly how long does it take for a release to get to Debian Sid?

When you clone the repo you can just do
and you are up to date.
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.
- Code: Select all
git pull
make -j2
and you are up to date.

Using the stable ppa doesn't automatically update the game version on deb/ubuntu?

The PPA hasn't been updated to 0.4.9. Even if it had been, PPAs only work on Ubuntu, not Debian.

Not true, private packages can be added to Debian :) but still, when the ppa gets updated, all using the ppa will get the version updated right?
"It's not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail"
Nope, If package is not build for debian, then it shouldn't be used on debian.. this may lead to strange errors. Anyway. Most debian users don't care about PPA.

cmake . DRUN_IN_PLACE is probably better, if supported.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to update the PPA. I have requested the builds now, they should be finished in some hours.
EDIT: They are finished now.
