Picking up protobuf

[Michel Lind]

Hi all,

protobuf was recently orphaned without any announcement to this list.

I've picked it up since et depends on it.

Best regards,

thanks Michel!

I'd be happy to help maintain if you would like assistance.

There are 3 previous maintainers, plus the EPEL bugzilla is overridden to Peter
Lemenkov (cc:ed) who is not in the ACL yet.

So I'd rather take things slow and not make unilateral ACL changes. Any PR welcome
though! (And I'll try and sort out
existing issues and PRs in between conference prep).

Best regards,

100% agree. I'll keep an eye on the progress and feel free to ping if you need a hand
with anything.

Update protobuf is a huge task 

see https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/protobuf/pull-request/26 ( move
from protobuf-3.19.6 to 3.25.1 ) 

I think we should try enforce the update on rawhide , and just after
look to protobuf-3.26.

Agreed - we definitely should only do major upgrades on Rawhide.

Thanks for picking that up, Michel. I intended to mail the list yesterday and totally lost
track of time. 🤦‍♂️

The big challenge we had with protobuf is that updating it broke quite a few things built
against the old version. But staying put with the same version led to problems with newer
packages that were coming along day by day.

No worries! I was wondering who the previous maintainer was - the RHBZ overrides
made it super confusing :)

Yeah... it might be worth just upgrading in Rawhide and not touch the stable
releases, as Sérgio suggested,
  unless there is an urgent security update? We should let maintainers of protobuf
dependents chime in too.

I do the same for capnproto for the same reason. :)
