Description of problem: Migrating from el7 to el8. Can find the following protobuf rpms: Installed Packages protobuf-c.x86_64 1.3.0-6.el8 @rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms Available Packages protobuf.i686 3.5.0-13.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf.x86_64 3.5.0-13.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-c.i686 1.3.0-6.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-c-compiler.i686 1.3.0-6.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-c-compiler.x86_64 1.3.0-6.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-c-devel.i686 1.3.0-6.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-c-devel.x86_64 1.3.0-6.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-compiler.i686 3.5.0-13.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-compiler.i686 3.5.0-13.el8 codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms protobuf-compiler.x86_64 3.5.0-13.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-compiler.x86_64 3.5.0-13.el8 codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms protobuf-devel.i686 3.5.0-13.el8 codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms protobuf-devel.x86_64 3.5.0-13.el8 codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms protobuf-lite.i686 3.5.0-13.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-lite.x86_64 3.5.0-13.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms protobuf-lite-devel.i686 3.5.0-13.el8 codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms protobuf-lite-devel.x86_64 3.5.0-13.el8 codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms python3-protobuf.noarch 3.5.0-13.el8 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms python3-pure-protobuf.noarch but can't find protobuf-java rpm. Need to obtain the protobuf jar file in order to continue migration. Also, heard about an early version of protobuf containing a bug concerning the byte variable. Was wondering if ver 3.5.0-13 had been fixed. Thank you very much
Currently we do not plan to have the protobuf-java subpackage in RHEL 8. Can you use the protobuf java bindings from the maven repository? Can you give some details on how you are using the protobuf java bindings? For further discussions please open a Red Hat support ticket and mention this bug. Thanks.
