the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Description of problem:
protobuf (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/protobuf) normally generates, among other sub-packages, protobuf-devel and protobuf-compiler. Those latter are however missing from RHEL/CentOS 8, even with EPEL enabled
Additional info:
A ticket has been opened for Release Engineering (https://pagure.io/epel/issue/90). However, I am not sure of the right process. Do not hesitate to point to the right way to require new sub-packages and/or packages for RHEL/CentOS 8.
The packages are available in Code Ready Builder (CRB) (on RHEL) / PowerTools (on CentOS). For the record (as I may not be the only one wondering on how to get those packages):
$ sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools # CodeReadyBuilder
$ sudo dnf -y install protobuf-devel protobuf-compiler
That bug can be closed.
As a matter of fact, the Python bindings for Protobuf are missing. On RHEL/CentS 7, that sub-package was named protobuf-python, and on Fedora rawhide, it is named python3-protobuf.
Could you re-generate the protobuf sub-packages, so as to include (at least) the Python bindings?

> Could anyone indicate how to make those packages available on CentOS 8?
I'm not sure how CentOS inherit packages from RHEL, but it seems python3-protobuf is located in CentOS Devel repo, instead of AppStream.
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/Devel/x86_64/os/Packages/
CentOS Stream has python3-protobuf in the AppStream repository.
CentOS Linux is currently still shipping python3-protobuf in the Devel repository, but at some point in the future that will follow suit and move to AppStream.
