[Bug 291175] graphics/blender: PATCH port update to 4.2.16 LTS

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291175

--- Comment #2 from Dave Palais <silent@penguinmail.com> ---
Hi, thank you for replying! My proposal here is not to maintain or prefer a
particular Blender LTS version in FreeBSD ports. Rather my intent was to bring
in some fixes from the Blender 4.2.x branch, which is what we have available
right now in FreeBSD as 4.2.0. This could have worked as a compromise between
upgrading the port to a recent release and not upgrading it at all.

If you intend to update the port to a newer release, that also works for me!
However I have a small suggestion: target the latest Blender LTS release,
including LTS patch releases, which today would be 4.5.5. This way FreeBSD
Blender users won't be stuck with a brand new 5.0 Blender that breaks many of
their addons for some time. This suggestion is about the existing
graphics/blender port, not an hypothetical blender-lts alternative.
