ALSA and OSS are not available for the snap packages, and trying to initialize
them seems to cause some problems for other applications. Instead configure
OpenAL and SDL to use PulseAudio, and set PULSE_SERVER environment variable to
make it work.
This commit improves Blender's AppStream metadata with minor punctuation and grammar improvements to the description, and a new `<release>` tag for the current release.
The `<release>` tag benefits Blender in the following ways:
- Flathub users get to see the actual release number instead of "stable"
- Make it easy for all packagers to include changelogs, so Blender's users gets to see what's new in 2.79
- Blender gets featured in GNOME software to reward it for having Release information in its AppStream metadata (KDE Discover [[ https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389509 | plans do do the same thing ]])
If the prior objection to adding release data to the AppStream metadata was the ongoing maintenance burden, I volunteer to take it on for subsequent Blender releases.

Unify all desktop icons on Mac, Win and Linux to fit with the correct, updated brand guidelines here: https://www.blender.org/about/logo/
This is using :
PANTONE 716 C = #EA7600 (RGB 234 118 0)
PANTONE 647 C = #236192 (RGB 35 97 146)
Thanks to Yevgeny Makarov (jenkm) for compiling this icon update.

I've been asked by Giuseppe Ghibò (joeghi) for more icons for Mandriva Linux distro.
I've noticed that some folders had a blender.svg different from the one in scalable/, so made them all the same derived from
scalable/blender.svg
Now each svg file has "document properties" of the right dimensions according to the folder it's in, and the svg is saved so that people
just have to press "export bitmap" in Inkscape in case they need it.
Runs with python 2.6 and 3.1 with no special deps.
To have nautilus display thumbnails automatically.
gconftool --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-blender/enable true
gconftool --type string --set /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@x-blender/command "blender-thumbnailer.py %i %o"
[#22849] Fix cmake install target on linux
--- from the tracker ---
This patch fixes the install target for the linux platform. Since the new configuration path changes are in effect, files have to be installed in the correct places instead of just copying the local installation to $PREFIX/share/blender.
It also provides a new macro to determine the correct blender version values.
Changes in this patch include:
- the .desktop menu file is installed in $PREFIX/share/applications and points to the svg icon instead of a png one, which is also installed in $PREFIX/share/pixmaps
- docs are installed in $PREFIX/share/doc/blender
- scripts are installed in in $PREFIX/share/blender/x.xx/
- locales are installed in in $PREFIX/share/blender/x.xx/datafiles
- a new cmake macro determines and sets the correct values for BLENDER_VERSION_MAJOR, BLENDER_VERSION_MINOR, BLENDER_SUBVERSION, BLENDER_VERSION, BLENDER_MINVERSION_MAJOR, BLENDER_MINVERSION_MINOR, BLENDER_MINSUBVERSION and BLENDER_MINVERSION by parsing source/blender/blenkernel/BKE_blender.h and calculating major/minor values. This replaces the hardcoded value in the top CMakeLists file and is used by all platforms.
