Hi Guillermo,

The patch looks fine in concept, but can you post separate versions each for natty, oneiric, and precise?

Re-subscribe sponsors when the patches are ready to go.

Reason I ask is because in order to SRU this for natty/oneiric, policy is it has to be fixed in the development version first and verified good.

This does not need to be fixed in precise because 2.6 will not be supported, so this can waive the usual rule that would prevent it from moving to oneiric-updates until the bug is fixed in precise.

Hello Guillermo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted protobuf into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hi Clint,

Thanks for the update.

I'm still trying to make it work on natty, but I'm not being able to build it for both python versions. I'll try to get some help from a more experienced ubuntu developer.

Regards,

The fix for this bug has been awaiting testing feedback in the -proposed repository for oneiric for more than 90 days. Please test this fix and update the bug appropriately with the results. In the event that the fix for this bug is still not verified 15 days from now, the package will be removed from the -proposed repository.
