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 Filipe Brandenburger 2020-01-02 22:48:04 UTC 
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?

* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1765844 ("protobuf-python3 missing from RHEL/CentOS 8" but really addressed the packages in PowerTools.)

Thanks!

Comment 1 Filipe Brandenburger 2020-01-06 21:37:42 UTC 
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, we are working on getting protobuf-lite-devel into CRB.

Hi Adrian!

Any updates to this one? Did it make it into CRB?

Thanks!

Hi Filipe,

This is work in progress for a future RHEL minor release.  More information will be added when it is available.
