It had been mentioned long ago that minetest ought to change its name. This was considered necessary for the minetest engine to be viewed apart from minetest the minecraft-esque game. Distancing itself from a very specific type of voxel game would allow for the engine to be used for a greater variety of game development using the engine, much like godot and others. The change to the name of the executable, and all references to it in most places in the code and supporting files, and the eventual switch to a git repo with its name cause a lot of upheaval.
The new name for the engine is Luanti, is a sensible and meaningful name even if some won't change their thinking of it and may continue to refer to it as minetest. Many paths once had a minetest directory, many files installed either had minetest in their name or were placed in one of those directories. What I had to change over a few days and a few upstream commits included the pkg-plist and some lines in the Makefile. I had to test numerous times, after each change to be sure everything was done accurately. At present, the upstream git repo is not yet luanti-org/luanti, but it may change in time from what is now minetest/minetest.
The Makefile adjustments below took more time to test than to edit of course because I had to attempt to build and then check what the pkg-plist that was generated looked like.

# It used to be such that I automate some pkg-plist adjustments with a simple script I modify for each significant 'unofficial port' that I make. It speeds the process of making sure that everything is accurate and consistent between rebuilds and new commits to my repo based upon upstream changes. All the places in the script where it now has luanti had once been minetest.

The options config has changed somewhat, organized a little nicer. The touch option was moved into the luanti config itself, and my method to use system fonts instead of bundled fonts can still be toggled.

If you had used minetest in the past, one other change is rather visible. I toggled off the clouds in the luanti config which makes it much more game agnostic.
At the moment this is the only way you can use the very most current Lunati client for minetest games and for your game engine needs. Eventually the ports committer for games/minetest will have to go through much of the same work I finished above to create games/luanti. Their task is delayed for public consumption even if they have done the work on their local machine because they track releases rather than upstream commits as I do.
