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.

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

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" \;'
