Basically "a/p1.proto" becomes the canonical name of that proto file and it can't be changed unless you can update all references of that import path. If repo X only provides the .proto files but not the generated code in their library, you can just update all the import paths in their protos. However, if generated code is part of X library, there isn't much you can do other than asking owners of X library to use a better path for their protos. > > Thanks, > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Protocol Buffers" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to protobuf+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to protobuf@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/protobuf. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Protocol Buffers" group.
