02:13 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> user333_: they don't update to new versions within a Debian stable release, that's what the stable means. That makes it fine if you want to run a server for a few years, then move to a later version (often not the actual latest...) when a new stable relases.
02:15 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> so again, it's not good for the desktop (but see flatpak, compile from source as options) but it's good for "I want to run a Luanti server for years and the only maintenance is occasional security updates"
02:15 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> that works better for something like Apache or nginx more than Luanti, but that's the idea
02:16 user333_ yea, i use debian/ubuntu so i know the story
02:17 user333_ and i always compile from source, never touching flatpaks again
02:17 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> oh right.. of course
02:17 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> "en ginks"
02:18 user333_ that's why i was stuck on 5.6.1 for a while until i learned to compile
02:18 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> Luanti could really do with a dedicated debian maintainer, it only occasionally gets attention to get security backports and push the latest stable to debian unstable
02:20 user333_ debain trixie released in mid 2025 and shipped with 5.10, at that time the latest was probably 5.12 or 5.13
02:21 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> yep, and that highlights why having a maintainer is so important, they need to get the latest versions into unstable before the deadline for the freeze, or it will be very out of date instead of slightly
02:22 user333_ at least it got a version after the minetest -> luanti rename
02:23 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> anyway, be the change you want to see in the world, they say
02:23 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> wearing my GNU shirt btw

08:13 sfan5 @Blockhead256 that's the theory but realistically debian (nor any other distro really) does not have the resources to ship security fixes
08:14 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> well debian has shipped security updates for then-minetest before, but only after a huge lag
08:17 sfan5 not to mention normal bug fixes they're technically supposed to backport too
08:19 sfan5 this whole approach works best with an established and fixed purpose tool or system component, e.g. if I want my file gzipped then it doesn't matter if I use the gzip from 2015, 2020 or 2025, they all get the job done. but a game engine is an ever changing piece of software where having a version out of date by several years just makes a bad
08:19 sfan5 experience
08:20 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> could be sidestepped with a launcher.. I think distro-packaged veloren does that
08:21 [MatrxMT] <Blockhead256> not that I want a luanti launcher of course. The game opening near-instantly is a great feature
