This template circumvents proper xlint checks because of the blank lines 21 (after patch_args) and 24 (after pycompile_dirs). Please remove these blank lines and satisfy the xlint checks that will fail as a result.

Also, when moving configure_args, please make sure to indent continued lines with one space.

Isn't 2.90 out already? Or are you guys planing on supporting the LTS versions?

Possibly 2 packages for lts and current? Although I am not experienced to package the new 2.90.

Alpine has 2.90 packaged but currently only x86 (testing) without Intel-embree https://github.com/embree/embree

You should install xtools and run xlint blender from your void-packages repo locally, because xlint sometimes takes several iterations to identify all template quality issues. Each time you iterate through CI you consume 50 minutes of time.

Regarding 2.90, I'm not a blender user, so we'll need to get some input from other users to decide whether bumping to 2.90 makes sense or a blender-lts package is appropriate.

The LTS versions are intended for larger organizations that work on bigger projects such as feature films and therefore need a version that is dependable and does not break when new features are introduced. Constant breakage could lead to unnecessary production costs.

It's unlikely that we have void-users who work in the CG industry, therefore 2.90 is probably the better option if you favor supporting only one version. However maintaining a LTS version probably won't be too difficult as they will only receive occasional bug-fixes.

I merged this with an update to 2.83.6 for now. If someone is interested in 2.90 they can feel free to open a PR for it.
