12:02 xrogaan How can I change minetest's language?
12:02 xrogaan want to run the game in english.
12:11 sonicpp joined #minetest
12:19 sfan5 add "language = en" (without the quotes) in minetest.conf
12:20 sfan5 or if you don't need any language support, just delete the locale folder
12:21 xrogaan I use the debian backports package, so deleting the locale folder might be a bit hard :)
12:21 xrogaan minetest-mapper doesn't work on debian either.
12:22 xrogaan http://dpaste.com/0WY9NM2
12:23 xrogaan using 0.4.17.1+repack-1~bpo9+1, mapper comes with minetest-data
12:24 xrogaan might it be due to mods?
12:25 sfan5 no it's because debian ships 1.5+ year-old software
12:25 xrogaan python's too old?
12:25 sfan5 the python mapper has bee deprecated for longer than that, even
12:25 xrogaan oh, mapper is dead. okay :)
12:25 sfan5 install this one from source https://github.com/minetest/minetestmapper
12:26 sfan5 what is debian even doing shipping the python mapper with 0.4.17.1
12:26 sfan5 wtf
12:28 dzho I'm sure patches are welcome.
12:30 sfan5 the thing is, this isn't a missing feature or similar; debian is actively doing the effort of shipping something that was removed from the repo more than 1 year ago
12:30 dzho "actively"
12:31 * dzho hits up packages.debian.org/minetest to take a look
12:34 * dzho takes a look at https://github.com/minetest/minetestmapper/releases for comparison
12:34 dzho oh, hmm.
12:35 dzho this is the point at which it seems reasonable to wonder what the hell even is a release and how someone might know
12:36 * dzho hits up Ctrl F for 0.4 ... already fails
12:37 sfan5 the mapper is not versioned alongside the engine because it's version independent
12:37 xrogaan https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/minetest < they have their own repo, the mapper hasn't been touched in years.
12:38 * dzho repeats same exercise in https://github.com/minetest/minetestmapper/releases to same results
12:38 dzho same question applies
12:40 xrogaan include minetest-mapper into the minetest-data package << from minetest (0.4.6+repack-5), 2013.
12:40 xrogaan so it was included then never removed.
12:41 sfan5 I guess because keeping it is less work than figuring out a new piece of software
12:41 dzho have they just been making up these version numbers, or is this some version scheme that minetest upstream has moved away from, or what?
12:41 sfan5 is it usual that debian packages keep their own "fork" of the source repo?
12:42 dzho sorry, I'm not sure how to talk to you about debian because I'm not sure what your level of familiarity with it is.
12:43 sfan5 I'm not familiar with debian's packaging policies at all, hence the question
12:43 dzho like, I assume you understand bug reports, being a developer yourself, but I'm not seeing any discussion of whether or not there are debian bugs open on this, let alone patches.
12:44 dzho yeah, I'm not a debian developer, but what I do know is that they at least have *had* policies since longer than a lot of projects have even existed.
12:45 sfan5 dzho: by the way, the minetest/minetestmapper repository is a rewrite and has never contained the old python version, so you won't find any 0.4 versions in there
12:45 sfan5 the python mapper was inside the util/ folder of minetest/minetest
12:46 dzho so it inherited that version number from the parent project?
12:46 dzho and when did the parent project switch from 0.4 to dates as release numbers?
12:46 sfan5 it didn't, that's my point
12:46 dzho or are we not equating github-hosted "releases" as real releases
12:47 xrogaan sfan5: the "fork" is actually for their own history of changing debian patch and ruleset.
12:47 dzho that is my point, which is that how does someone like me who doesn't live and breathe your project even figure this out?
12:47 dzho I play a little bit of another infiniminer-inspired game and occasionally check in to see how minetest is going because freedom, etc
12:48 sfan5 if you ask me, minetestmapper should not be packaged in the same package as the engine, so you wouldn't need to figure this out
12:48 xrogaan the mapper is in data, alongside other utilities.
12:48 sfan5 that's how debian does it, yes
12:49 dzho well, that's how whover did this *for* debian did it.
12:49 dzho whoever*
12:49 * dzho digs around for info about who maintains this for debian
12:50 xrogaan look at the changelog
12:50 dzho which changelog for what
12:51 xrogaan https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/minetest
12:51 sfan5 https://packages.debian.org/buster/minetest < lists the debian games team and three people
12:52 dzho cool, I guess you know how to get in contact with someone about this, if you want.
12:53 piesquared joined #minetest
12:53 xrogaan Markus Koschany is the most active as per the tracker.
12:54 dzho lol, looks like they have a few things on their plates: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-games-devel%40lists.alioth.debian.org
12:54 dzho I'm sure they'd appreciate some pointers.
12:55 dzho by the way, I love that a game appears as the first entry in the list of *all* packages on most distros
12:55 dzho because "0ad"

13:29 xrogaan sfan5: what's this colors.txt?
13:29 xrogaan `Warning: Falling back to using colors.txt from current directory.' < the mapper is failing with that
13:29 xrogaan oh, nevermind
13:31 xrogaan it's included in the repo, I just built the software in a dedicated folder for cleanliness.
