This commit adds a python script that can collect some of the
information necessary to fill out a bug report.
The primary use case is to help users collect system information for
a bug report in the case that Blender can't open.
CMD and sh files are included to help users use the Python script.
Ref !122191
Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
Introduce a context manager that temporarily overrides a UILayout's
operator context.
Instead of writing this:
```py
default_op_context = layout.context
layout.context = 'OTHER_VALUE'
layout.do_stuff()
layout.context = default_op_context
```
you can now write this:
```py
from bl_ui_utils.layout import operator_context
with operator_context(layout, 'OTHER_VALUE'):
layout.do_stuff()
```
This is also exception-safe; it will always ensure the layout's operator
context is restored when the `with` body is exited, regardless of
whether that's done with an exception or regularly.
Idea in-the-hallway approved by @Sergey.
This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
