The goal of this test is to try to import some critical py scripts with the
system python of the building machine.
The main target is to ensure that these py scripts remain usable by all
buildbot machines, as some of them are using fairly outdated python
versions.
Current status:
* Scripts in `build_files` and `docs` are checked.
* Some python scripts in `build_files` were 'reverted' to be compatible
with older required python version currently (3.6).
* A few scripts are excluded from the test, mostly because they use Blender's
`bpy` module, which means they are only intended to be ran with Blender's
python anyway.
* The test is only enabled for Linux buildbots currently, as they use the
oldest Python by far.
Notes:
* Some more scripts are likely to be moved around in the future.
* Whether these tests need to be enabled on windows or macos platforms remains
an open question.

Suppress unused warnings using the "vulture" utility.
- Include public definitions in the modules `__all__`.
- Mark arguments & variables as unused with a "_" prefix.
Support importing scripts without running their logic to
allow basic validation (see #130746).
Parts of !131037 were used.

Remove assert statement from make_update.py, making it ready for any
architecture.
Add riscv 32, 64 and 128 bit cpu architecture with little/big endian
to Blender's BLI_build_config.h and Libmv's build_config.h
Tested (to compile) on riscv64 little endian machine.

Buildbot uses Python 3.9, so it needs to be supported.
Arguably, the system-wide Python 3.6 needs to be supported to, but
it is a bit more tricky change, and is not a stopper for now.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/130664
This is not an officially supported platform, but it was working before
so might as well keep it up to date.
* Tweak logic for various BLENDER_PLATFORM_ARM checks
* Use linux_arm64 name for folders, matching Windows and macOS
* CUDA is enabled, SYCL and HIP are not
* Tested to work on Rocky Linux 8
This change adds `--prune-destructive` command line argument to the
`make_update.py` script which ensures directories which used to be
an in-worktree checkout do not exist. Currently it is addons and
addons_contrib folders.
This gives buildbot an ability to ensure checkout used for build is
correct, regardless of which branch or patch was built there.
The option is needed because sometimes it is still required to be
able to build patches against v330 or v360 which still use the old
style of addons.
Alternative solution could be to ignore the folders in the INSTALL
command, but this could have impact on users who wants to package
custom addons.
The downside of this solution is that buildbot potentially will be
downloading addons and addons_contrib repositories every time it
builds a patch against v330 or v360. It should not be a problem in
practice since the repositories are rather small, and patches for
these tracks are not built very often.

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

The `make update` will now always update all initialized submodules,
including the library ones.
The `make_update.py --no-libraries` will neither initialize nor update
pre-compiled libraries or tests.

Solves the issue of the script potentially sitting for a long time
without having any progress reported. Confusingly, such behavior
depends on Git version.
In older versions (< 2.33) there will be progress reported, but it
then got changed by the commit in Git:
7a132c628e
The delayed checkout is exactly how Git LFS integrates into the Git
process. Another affecting factor for the behavior is that submodule
configured to use "checkout" update policy is forced to have quite
flag passed to the "git checkout":
https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.43.2/builtin/submodule--helper.c#L2258
This is done to avoid the long message at the end of checkout about
the detached state of HEAD, with instructions how to resolve that.
There are two possible solutions: either use "rebase" update policy
for submodules, or skip Git LFS download during the submodule update.
Changing the update policy is possible, but it needs to be done with
a bit of care, and possible revised process for updating/merging
tests data.
This change follows the second idea of delaying LFS download for a
later step, so the process is the following:
- Run `git submodule update`, but tell Git LFS to not resolve the links
by using GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1 environment variable.
- Run `git lfs pull` for the submodule, to resolve the links.
Doing so bypasses hardcoded silencing in the Git. It also potentially
allows to recover from an aborted download process.
The `git lfs pull` seems to be a nominal step to resolve the LFS links
after the smudging has been skipped. It is also how in earlier Git
versions some Windows limitations were bypassed:
https://www.mankier.com/7/git-lfs-faq
The submodule update now also receives the "--progress" flag, which
logs the initial Git repository checkout process, which further
improves the feedback.
The byproduct of this change is that an error during precompiled
libraries and tests data update is not considered to be fatal.
It seems to be more fitting with other update steps, and allows
more easily reuse some code.
There is also a cosmetic change: the messages at the end of the
update process now have their own header, allowing more easily
see them in the wall-of-text.

Likewise, skip tests update when --use-tests is not provided.
It was a bit of ambiguous situation because libraries and tests
are technically submodules. After some feedback it seems that it
is better to ignore submodule for libraries and tests unless
requested explicitly.

If LFS hooks are installed manually the automatic installation would
fail.
This change makes it so `lfs` is a valid command of `git`, ensuring
that the package is installed. If the installation fails assume it
is due to tricky local setup, and do not fail.

- git lfs install was called a bit too late, after the libraries
has been checked out, leaving the checkout in a non-resolved
state.
- Update blender code first, allowing proper submodule hash to
be pulled.
