I renamed the fork, and I split the commit as: introduce the fork, and
then (update minetest + use irrlicht-for-minetest). If I split the
minetest update commit further, it will create a broken commit. I was
told on #guix that I should not create such commits. Quoting nckx:

    vivien: No, each commit should result in a sane state whenever
possible.

minetest-sound-core is introduced as a submodule for the
basic_materials update. So the code for it is not present at all. If I
first update basic_materials, then the tests will fail because it can’t
find sound_core. Do you mean that I should first try to respect the
will of the author and add it as a submodule (I don’t know how to do
that) and then take it out as a separate package?

I just looked up the date and found a the commit in github that was
there (usually contentdb reports the next day as the github commit). Is
there something more to do?

Yes. Mesecons was using version numbers and then the latest tag is a
date. Given that it’s April 1st, maybe there’s something funny occuring
here, but the changes around that day looked reasonable to my untrained
eye. However, one thing I didn’t notice at first was the drop of the +
in the license. Sorry.
