• [gentoo-dev] Up for grabs: dev-libs/protobuf, dev-python/protobuf-pytho

    From Sam James@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 12 19:50:01 2024
    Hi,

    The following packages are up for grabs because of proxied maintainer inactivity:
    * dev-libs/protobuf
    * dev-python/protobuf-python
    * dev-java/protobuf-java (technically still has java@)

    Please be aware that there's a rat's nest to be disentangled
    here. protobuf is tightly coupled with dev-cpp/abseil-cpp and we really
    need a virtual or similar because abseil-cpp linkage now leaks into
    protobuf consumers. Both have unstable ABI. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/912819#c4.

    thanks,
    sam
