Move repo to the minetest-whynot org that you made.

https://github.com/orgs/minetest-whynot

Here's a guide: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/transferring-a-repository

I'm pretty sure (but I'd like to test it first with a test repo) that when this goes through, all references to bell07/minetest-game-whynot will be redirected to the repo inside that org.

I plan it to move after the builder is done. The move should happen before the next release in contentdb.

The builder https://github.com/minetest-whynot/whynot-builder is working and the repo is moved to https://github.com/minetest-whynot/whynot-game

The next step is to update the Forum entry https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?p=384895 and contenddb entry https://content.minetest.net/packages/bell07/whynot_game/

@Lazerbeak12345, maybe you create new forum entry and new contentdb entry? Then you are able to update them in the feature.
Can you pls. test if the whynot-builder does work for you? Checkout the builder and call the build-whynot-mods.sh script. Then your whynot game is in "build" folder. The build script does update the build/mods folder only.

[Lazerbeak12345]

Sure. I'm cloning those now.

I just had an idea: We could actually make this into one repo still, instead of two (have a folder for the sub-modules and update scripts). If it works right now, however, I'd keep it as-is.

Another reason why sepearte repos might be better is if we wish to do something like "whynot-nodecore" or "whynot-hades-revisited." We would then be able to have a "known-good" version of shared mods.

Merits research. Let's leave it as-is.

Ok, it looks like the build script works. I symlinked whynot-builder/build to whynot-game, and it still worked perfectly.

To have game and builder in one repo means all mods_src is fully included in release. To have the release export smaller we have separate repos. The game can be bushed to content.minetest.net directly from git as before.

About another game tastes: I have privately two additional games I played in the past but not published yet: whynot-void (around unternull fork, with world-setting if it is endless water or lava ocean, with endless stone or dirt ground, or just startanode in the air) and whynot-ethereal (around ethereal, we can consider #32 into this game). Currently I do updates and some rewrites on this game before I push them into minetest-whynot organization.
But I decided to create own builder repo for each game variant. Maybe they are different compatibility requirements so different game needs different versions of the same mod. Trough git we are able to cherry-pick the changes between the games
