Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Andrew Lee (李健秋) <[email protected]>* Package name : golang-github-planetscale-vtprotobuf Version : 0.6.0-1 Upstream Author : PlanetScale * URL : https://github.com/planetscale/vtprotobuf * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Go Description : optimized Protocol Buffer support library for Go (library) This library provides the runtime support and interfaces required by code generated with the vtprotobuf compiler plugin. It contains the definitions for optimized interfaces that bypass the standard Go protobuf reflection layer to achieve higher performance and lower garbage collection pressure. . The module includes helpers for memory allocation pooling and efficient byte slice handling. It is intended for developers who need to build Go applications that process large volumes of protobuf-encoded data with minimal latency. This package contains the source code needed to compile programs that depend on the PlanetScale vtprotobuf runtime.
Thank you for taking care of packaging this library, I will also need it for Docker-related packages.
I've taken a look at your packaging work and it seems you didn't create a binary package for protoc-gen-go-vtproto. I think that it would be good to add it before the upload to NEW. See attached patch that does just this, taking inspiration from golang-google-protobuf [1].
