Public bug reported:
Packaging of protobuf-compiler is really inconvenient for used in the mixed
development environment. Protocol buffer library and compiler are tightly
coupled together as described here:
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/issues/detail?id=210
You need the same versions of the compiler and the library to produce usable
code. Same applies both Java and C++. Current way of replacing older compiler
and runtime with newer version cause incompatibilities between Ubuntu 11.04 and
11.10 environments. You can't produce Java or C++ code that can be run or
compile with different target. Same is true for both direction. protobuf-2.3.0
is incompatible with 2.4.0a and via versa.
The solution is to package all protobuf related stuff with version
embedded to packages to allow parallel installation of different
versions of protobuf.
