Hi, Riku:
The protobuf packaging repository is moving to a dedicated packaging
group on Alioth, which is working on the protobuf 3 release:
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-protobuf/
The repository in collab-maint will probably be retired after protobuf 3
is uploaded to the archive.
Thanks for updating the state. The bugreport was silent so I was left
wondering.
If you're interested in helping with the protobuf package please join
the pkg-protobuf-devel mailing list and coordinate there with the other
folks working on protobuf 3. IIRC, there are a lot of disruptive
upstream changes that make the update from protobuf 2.x to protobuf 3
not so simple.
I did a quick packaging at:
https://people.debian.org/~riku/protobuf/
I think best way to weed out disruptive upstream changes would be upload to
experimental.
