About three years ago, I picked up the grpc package after it was
orphaned. I put quite a bit of work into it – migrating from autotools
to CMake, enabling tests, and packaging the latest version – and I kept
it up to date for a while, until further updates were blocked by the
need for a major protobuf package update – which is the state it has
been in for roughly a year now.
I’ve put some effort into trying to help with that, too[1], but now I’m
trying to get a current grpc working with a current protobuf and hitting
cryptic crashes in the tests[2], and I’ve realized that I’ve hit the
limit of how much time and frustration I am willing to invest in the
protobuf/grpc ecosystem. I know and regret that this will be
inconvenient for the maintainers and users of a number of packages that
depend on grpc, but the time has come for me to move on and orphan grpc.
The following packages depend directly on grpc at build time:
- CuraEngine_grpc_definitions
- bear
- buildstream
- credentials-fetcher
- fastnetmon
- frr
- libarrow
- nanopb
- perl-grpc-xs
- python-google-api-core
- python-googleapis-common-protos
- python-grpc-google-iam-v1
- python-opencensus-proto
- python-opentelemetry
- python-pytest-grpc
- python-sentry-sdk
- qt6-qtgrpc
Additionally, at least the following have subpackages with install-time
dependencies on grpc:
- python-chirpstack-api
- python-etcd3
- syslog-ng
Note that libarrow is a dependency for:
- ceph
- pcp
- python-dask
- python-dask-expr
- python-formulaic
- python-pandas
- python-papermill
I’ve been maintaining the following packages solely or primarily to
support grpc, and I will orphan them at the same time:
- python-googleapis-common-protos
- python-pytest-grpc
While I originally started maintaining python-opentelemetry,
python-opentelemetry-contrib, python-opentelemetry-propagator-aws-xray,
python-opentelemetry-resource-detector-azure, and
python-opentelemetry-sdk-extension-aws for grpc, I’m planning to keep
maintaining them for the time being.
