hi,
so the advice i received regarding the name was that i must get it
renamed upstream[1]. i don't think this will be possible because:
- upstream is an established package, present in PYPI and macports
- the developer is MIA
(additionally, the official Protocol Buffers 3 supports Python 3 [2] and
should be coming to debian soon[3]. as the main point of this package
was to allow the use of protocol buffers with Python 3, this reduces the
need for this package).
hence, i propose to withdraw the package, the RFS and the ITP. also
happy to proceed, the work is basically done, but i can't see a way to
make it work.
with thanks
jonathon
