Bug#754552: New minetest 0.4.10 released (lots of improvements and bugfixes), please update Debian packages and add minetest-mod-mobf, minetest-mod-mesecons to Suggests or Recommends

Sat Jul 12 19:47:24 UTC 2014

Thanks for the ping, I'll do that. 

Just for the record, minetest-mod-mobf is in the News queue of debian
since 4 months. Not much that I can do: we are waiting for the
approval of ftp-master that this material can legally be uploaded to
the debian servers...

https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

And lastly, please open two bugs if you want to speak of two points.
Don't we already had this discussion? ;)

Bye, Mt.
