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.

Re: How Do You Update Minetest?
From the source: Build the new version in a new directory and copy the folder "worlds" and the file "minetest.conf" from the old to the new version.
If you use Debian als os: "aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade" should update minetest too, but the Version in Jessie is "0.4.9+repack-6'. I think, the version 0.4.10 is coming soon there too.
If you want the newest version, get the source-version too and start it from the folder, where you build the source-version. (The readme tells you, how to build and start it.)
You can install the binary and the source version parallel.

7:42 PM - Bauglio: I think if you go to staples you could steal firmware from a fax machine that would run better than win10 does on any platform
7:42 PM - Bauglio: so fudge the stable build
7:43 PM - Bauglio: get the staple build

What operating system are you using? Windows, Mac, or a Linux Distribution?

Re: How Do You Update Minetest?
I do an update via an alias:
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
alias minetest-dev-update='cd ~/.minetest-dev && pwd && time rgit && time cmake . -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 && time make -j2 && echo Done'
alias rgit='find . -type d -name .git -exec sh -c "cd \"{}\"/../ && pwd && git pull" \;'

All information for the download can you find at http://www.minetest.net/download
I use wget to download the new version from github.
