RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hello,
There is a need, for ppc64le arch, to have protobuf epel7 to be updated to the 2.6.1 version.
Please, could you update protobuf.
Thanks in advance.

Since RHEL7.2 protobuf and protobuf-c is part of RHEL:

$ python is_it_in_rhel.py protobuf
protobuf is not in RHEL 5
protobuf is not in RHEL 6
protobuf is in RHEL 7;   version: 2.5.0;   archs: i686, x86_64

$ python is_it_in_rhel.py protobuf-c
protobuf-c is not in RHEL 5
protobuf-c is not in RHEL 6
protobuf-c is in RHEL 7;   version: 1.0.2;   archs: i686, x86_64


Unfortunately not PPC64LE.

I got the same answer as you with the is_it_in_rhel.py script. This script seems to retrieve its information from https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/repo/json/pkg_el{rel}.json files. The https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/repo/json/pkg_el7.json file contains the protobuf and protobuf-c packages but not related to the ppc64le arch.

However when looking at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/ppc64le/p/ protobuf and protobuf-c packages are available for ppc64le at versions 2.5.0 (needs upgrade to 2.6.1) and 1.0.1:

protobuf-2.5.0-7.el7.ppc64le.rpm      2015-12-05 02:56  323K
protobuf-c-1.0.1-1.el7.ppc64le.rpm    2015-12-05 05:34  101K

Not sure if the json file is up to date regarding ppc64le packages.

This should be reassigned to RHEL since it's a part of RHEL now.
