News • Re: Luanti 5.16.1

I want to install new luanti with sudo apt install but there is already a old minetest package on apt :- sudo apt install minetest

I install luanti with flatpak/flathub install Because it takes upto 550 MB of storage and data

debian package are lightweight installation package like in windows

sudo apt remove your old Luanti. Follow this thread to build Luanti from source, including a .deb file, then sudo apt install that .deb. Your version you built from source will not get wiped by the Debian version because it will have a newer version.

Edit: I also have minetestmapper built from source to a .deb file the same way, then /etc/apt/preferences.d/10-minetestmapper-mine to pin it to the "version 1.0" that that gives, because debian's YYYYMMDD dates for Minetestmapper versions actually do override that unless you pin.

/etc/apt/preferences.d/10-minetestmapper-mine

Code:

Package: minetestmapperPin: version 1.0Pin-Priority: 1001
