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
yaourt -S minetest-git-leveldb


should give you the latest git version with all the bells and whistles such as LuaJIT and the different database backends. (Of course you need to install yaourt or another AUR helper for it to work like that.)

Since the package is already marked outdated here you just need to wait until the maintainer updates it.

How long that takes? No idea.

It is still 0.4.14 right now after

Code: Select all
pacman -Syyu

But here [https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/minetest/] is 0.4.15.

It seems that not all mirrors are still updated.

Then pick a better mirror: https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/

In Manjaro Linux mirrors are managed automatically without editing config files and choosing ones you like.

Then find out which one it is using automatically and check its mirror status on the web page.
Edit: I think Manjaro uses its own mirrors, not Arch's.

You are right. They are Arch based but update with some delay.

For Manjaro Linux users.

Force updating mirrors

Maybe it's time for the training wheels to come off then and to install the real Arch Linux. Manjaro is just a gateway drug to full-fledged Arch addiction. :-)

I was using Arch, and then moved to Manjaro. Arch is for experienced users. Too much work with manually editing config files. But I like things to be ready out of the box. And, on the other hand, rolling release to have latest programs I install.

My experience with GUI sys admin tools (such as YaST on SUSE) has always been that they hide too much information from the user and like to reset and overwrite settings they were not meant to change.

Manual config files at least are not changed behind your back by the system, which makes them better in the long run.

Of course some software (Apache!) has become so ridiculously hard to configure manually that I've completely given up on it. But that too is probably for the better. :-)

Hooray, I just update MT to version 0.4.15. Manjaro mirrors upgrade just arrived.
