Description:
In the new 2.90 build the majority of add-ons are not available. It is throwing the following error repeatedly on startup: ImportError: cannot import name 'orientation_helper_factory' from 'bpy_extras.io_utils' (/usr/share/blender/2.90/scripts/modules/bpy_extras/io_utils.py) which *may* be related. I have downloaded the official 2.90 build and confirmed it works correctly. Possible it's a submodule issue as the addons are from git submodules by the looks. Running ripgrep over the Arch 2.9 install and the official 2.9 shows that orientation_helper_factory only appears in the arch build. Have not confirmed this error is the reason add-ons are not available or it could be unrelated but another symptom of the same issue. Steps to reproduce: Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons You should see the screenshot attached for 2.90-official.png. I see 2.90-arch.png |

So it seems that the error is with the file accessing "io_utils.pty". Doing a comparison of for example "/usr/share/blender/2.90/scripts/addons/io_scene_x3d/__init__.py", the Arch build is 190 lines long with 2 instances of "orientation_helper_factory". While the the blender.org build is 309 lines, multiple changes and additions, most notably being "orientation_helper" replacing "orientation_helper_factory".
So I guess the addons in the Arch build will need to be updated. I'm not very comfortable with replacing/editing system files, so I added the addons to "~/.config/blender/2.90/scripts/addons/". But Blender will not load addons with matching names, conflict, but some addons did load. Food for thought, maybe.
It seems they had to retag before 2.90 release, so maybe "git fetch --tags --force" would solve the problem.
I've just tested updating '/usr/share/blender/2.90/scripts/addons/' and was able to reduce errors down to 1('/usr/share/blender/2.90/scripts/modules/addons_utils.py' ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cycles'). Not sure if it has a negative effect on any addons, but they appear to have all loaded. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do things, maybe someone else could confirm, but this is how i did it:
Download addons for 2.90 from 'https://github.com/blender/blender-addons/releases', extract zip.
Delete or Rename '/usr/share/blender/2.90/scripts/addons'.
Copy and rename extracted folder 'blender-addons-2.90.0' to '/usr/share/blender/2.90/scripts/addons'.
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Linux/Arch
step "make update" before "make"
It will rebase all submodule to origin branch or tag
I only modified prepare()
