Hi,
the Python (3) bindings are missing on RHEL/CentOS/EPEL 8 for the protobuf package (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/protobuf).
A bug request has been created on Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1765844), but as no status has been given, I was wondering whether someone could shed some light on the context.
Since protobuf is a RedHat core package (maintained by RedHat and therefore not managed by Fedora/EPEL), it appears as a kind of black box from Fedora perspective. On Fedora (Rawhide, 31), the Python (3) bindings are generated/packaged (see for instance https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-e3a662fe8b and https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=19440119), but for some reason, those Python bindings are not generated by RedHat for RHEL/CentOS 8.
1. Would anyone from RedHat be able to provide some heads up on why those Python 3 bindings are missing for Protobuf, and/or an approximate timeline for when it would be generated?
2. Would RedHat need help with packaging protobuf on RHEL/CentOS/EPEL 8?
3. Would you recommend another way for Fedora packagers/users to get their hands on the python3-protobuf/protobuf-python3 package? For instance, through COPR, or some module we may have missed.
Kind regards
Denis
