This is a tracking bug for Change: Protobuf 5.x/6.x For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Protobuf_5.x/6.x Update Protobuf to the latest version (5.x), and 6.x if it arrives in time before freeze in Q1 2025. Note that Protobuf's versioning is complicated, C++ and Python are at version 5, other language bindings at version 4, and they all embed the version of protoc; we are using the C++ version here so we can reference its support policy. If you encounter a bug related to this Change, please do not comment here. Instead create a new bug and set it to block this bug.
Hi Michel, this is a reminder that the testable deadline is coming up in about two weeks, on Feb 4th, and changes need to be in good shape at this point https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/changes_policy/#_change_process_milestones for Beta. Please let me know if you need to defer this to F43, otherwise if youre good to go for the change to be ready to meet the testable requirements, please update the status of the tracker bug to MODIFIED. Thanks! Aoife

The compatibility package is done, but we want to make sure the rewrite of the newer protobuf package itself is done properly, so it's better to land it in Rawhide first, then if that goes well and we have an urgent need we can consider following the incompatible upgrades policy to bring it to F42
Ack, deferring to F43 as requested. Thanks!
