[Update Package] Minetest 0.4.13

[Rohan "HEXcube" Villoth]

The current version of 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 in Playdeb repo is a "dead" fork called 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭-delta: http://www.playdeb.net/game/Minetest%20Delta . It's been declared obsolete by its developer: https://github.com/erlehmann/minetest-delta/blob/master/README and listed alongside inactive forks: http://wiki.minetest.net/Overview_of_Minetest_forks

These are the details of active upstream 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭:
    • Homepage: http://minetest.net/
    • Latest stable release: 0.4.13 on August 20th 2015
    • Source code:
        Engine: https://github.com/minetest/minetest
        Game: https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game
    • Ubuntu packages: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/minetest
    • Official PPAs:
        Stable: https://launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/ubuntu/stable
        Daily: https://launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/ubuntu/daily-builds
    • On Debian sid: https://packages.debian.org/sid/minetest

Upstream 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 used to be available on Playdeb for Ubuntu 12.04LTS till 13.04: http://www.playdeb.net/game/Minetest . But now, the only one left on Playdeb for Ubuntu 14.04LTS and up is the obsolete delta fork. So, I request the "dead" delta fork be removed from Playdeb and replaced with an actively maintained 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 .

There is Freeminer on PlayDeb:

@c-korn Thanx for updating the Minetest package. And yes, I knew about 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫 on Playdeb and that it's a fork of 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭. However, the original 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 project isn't dead yet. Both 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 and it's fork are evolving parallely. Kinda like how CyanogenMod is Android fork, but both continue to develop. And there's this difference in license too: 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 is LGPLv2.1 (See https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/README.txt ) while 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫 shifted to GPLv3 (See https://github.com/freeminer/freeminer/blob/master/README.md ). Assets are CC-BY-SA 3.0 for both games.

𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭's description on Playdeb is outdated. See http://www.playdeb.net/game/Minetest . The license is also stated incorrectly there. The same goes for Freeminer's Playdeb page: http://www.playdeb.net/game/Freeminer .

@c-korn Now that 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭's back on Playdeb, shouldn't the "dead" Minetest-delta be removed from Playdeb?: http://www.playdeb.net/game/Minetest%20Delta

Thanks for the information.

Updated the descriptions and removed the old mintest-delta package.
