protobuf (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/protobuf) normally generates, among other sub-packages, protobuf-lite-devel. That package is however missing from RHEL/CentOS 8, even with PowerTools (on CentOS) / Code Ready Builder (CRB) (on RHEL) enabled. Package protobuf-lite itself is available from AppStream. Packages protobuf-devel and protobuf-compiler are available from PowerTools. But protobuf-lite-devel is missing. `dnf provides /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/protobuf-lite.pc` also says no matches found. Can we please get it included? Also related: * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1765844 ("protobuf-python3 missing from RHEL/CentOS 8" but really addressed the packages in PowerTools.) * https://pagure.io/epel/issue/90 Thanks!

Any comments on this one? Can I help in any way? It seems to me this should be simple, the package is likely already being built, so it's just the matter of including it in the appropriate repositories for CentOS 8 (PowerTools) and RHEL 8 (CBR, I believe.) In specific, the problem I'm trying to solve is provide a build for EternalTerminal in EPEL. EternalTerminal uses protobuf-lite, but unfortunately I can't build it without an appropriate protobuf-lite-devel and there's really no good way for me to get that package... Adding that package to EPEL itself is not really possible either, since protobuf-lite and the other packages *are* available from RHEL/CentOS. Thanks in advance! Filipe
Filipe, we are working on getting protobuf-lite-devel into CRB.
Hi Adrian! Any updates to this one? Did it make it into CRB? Thanks! Filipe
