As each extension has it's own package, any modules it includes must be
imported as sub-modules. Warn if extensions are including themselves
in the sys.path as this breaks name-spacing of extensions.
Show these warnings in the add-on & extensions UI.
- Suppress pylint warnings via comments or be minor changes.
- Any errors disabling add-ons before upgrading or uninstalling are now
reported to the operators.
- Disable cyclic import warning is it's impractical to resolve.
- Enable useless-suppression warning.
Some errors were reported as warnings because they didn't prevent the
operation from completing (such as failing to remove some paths when
uninstalling).
Change message types for the extensions internal command line program:
- Add "fatal error" to use when an operation fails and exits with a
non-zero error code.
- Use "error" when an operation fails which doesn't prevent other
actions from succeeding.
- Use "warn" reporting issues what don't prevent the operation
from completing but may cause problems.
- Add an option to build a separate package for each platform, this is
useful to produce smaller packages when large wheels are included.
- Add a reserved field: "[build.generated]" to the manifest when
splitting by platform which overrides the root-level platform
when it exists.
Run each update as a separate job, previously updates for each
repository was split into a separate job however that would only
use parallel connections with multiple online repositories which
isn't used by default. Currently the connection limit is hard-coded but
will be made into a preference.
- Fix an unhandled exception listing a repository with no remote data.
- Exclude dot-files from being listed when generating a repository.
- Fix missing import (in an unlikely corner case) when accessing
tags before the repository data was initialized.
- Fix refresh refreshing the remote not updating the
internal remote meta-data.
- Suppress warnings in tests caused by default repositories
(now removed before resting).
Replace use of "bl_pkg" operator category with "extensions",
this naming was used while the functionality was experimental,
not intended to be used once extensions was moved out of experimental.
```
- Sync repo: {remote_url}
+ Checking repository "{remote_name}" for updates...
- Sync downloading remote data
+ Refreshing extensions list for "{remote_name}"...
- sync: invalid manifest ({error_msg}) reading {remote_url}!"
+ Repository error: invalid manifest ({error_msg}) for repository "{remote_name}"!
- Sync complete: {:s}".format(remote_url)
+ Extensions list for "{remote_name}" updated
```

Note, this is working as expected (from Blender anyways), however I can't test test_cli.py at the moment here.

Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122378
Add an optional `[build]` table, only used for the "build" sub-command.
Supported entries.
- `paths = [..]` list of strings.
Explicitly list all paths to include.
Python "wheels" and the manifest are automatically included.
- `paths_exclude_pattern = [..]` list of strings.
A `.gitignore` compatible list of patterns.
By default "paths_exclude_pattern" is set to:
[".*", "__pycache__"] when the `[build]` table entry isn't found.
Only one of these options is supported at once since it makes to sense
to exclude paths when they're manually listed.
Use the name "index.json" instead of "bl_ext_repo.json".
This makes more sense as the name is automatically added to the end
of file:// URL's a little like index.html for web-sites.
Previously regular paths were supported however supporting both
URL's and file paths isn't very common & complicated internal logic.
Also fixed an error where the server-generate sub-command created the
"archive_url" from the file-name without URL encoding.
The extensions system allows to extend Blender with connectivity to the internet. Right now it means Blender can
discover and install add-ons and themes directly from the internet, and notify users about their updates.
By default this is disabled (opt-in), and users can enable it the first time they try to install an extension or visit
the Prefences > Extensions tab. If this is enabled, Blender will automatically check for updates for
extensions.blender.org upon startup.
When will Blender access the remote repositories:
* Every time you open the Preferences → Extensions: ALL the enabled repositories get checked for the latest info (json)
* Every time you try to install by dragging: ALL the enabled repositories get checked for the latest info (json).
* Every time you start Blender: selected repositories get checked for the latest info (json).
------------------
From the Blender code point of view, this means that most of the add-ons and themes originally bundled with Blender
will now be available from the online platform, instead of bundled with Blender. The exception are add-ons which are
deemed core functionality which just happened to be written as Python add-ons.

------------------
This PR does the following:
* Move extensions out of experimental.
* No longer install `scripts/addons` & `scripts/addons_contrib`.
* Add `scripts/addons_core` to blender's repository.
These add-ons will still be bundled with Blender and will be always enabled in the future, with their preferences
moved to be more closely integrated with the rest of Blender. This will happen during the remaining bcon2 period.
For more details, see #121830
From scripts/addons:
* copy_global_transform.py
* hydra_storm
* io_anim_bvh
* io_curve_svg
* io_mesh_uv_layout
* io_scene_fbx
* io_scene_gltf2
* pose_library
* ui_translate
* viewport_vr_preview
Extra: bl_pkg (scripts/addons_contrib)
Note: The STL (legacy) add-on is going to be moved to the extensions platform. There is already a C++ version on core
which is enabled by default.
All the other add-ons are already available at extensions.blender.org. To use them you need to:
* Go to User Preferences > Extensions
* You will be greated with an "Online Extensions" message, click on "Enable Repository".
* Search the add-on you are looking for (e.g, Import Images as Planes).
* Click on Install
Over time their maintaince will be transferred over to the community so their development can carry on. If you used to
help maintain a bundled add-on please read: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/changes-to-add-on-bundling-4-2-onwards/34593
