Request to remove reference to deprecated module 'github.com/golang/protobuf'

[abhithmv]

Hi,
appengine has a reference to deprecated module 'github.com/golang/protobuf'. Because of which our consuming module depends indirectly on deprecated module.
Is it possible to remove the deprecated module and release a new version of appengine?
Thanks.

Is this a duplicate of #228?

No, it is not. The #228 added the new version of protobuf.

This ticket seeks to remove the obsolete version. Currently both versions are listed as dependencies... Maybe, #228 should have requested a replacement, but it did not...

#228 does not add anything as it's not a PR but an issue.

The #228 propose the switch from obsolete to current version:

So I believe this one a duplicate. Anyway it looks like nobody care anyway :(

So I believe this one a duplicate.

The #228 added use of the new protobuf, without deleting the old one... This ticket requested the removal of all uses of the old protobuf. Whether this is a duplication is a matter of semantics, I suppose...

Anyway it looks like nobody care anyway :(

The #346 is a merge-request which provided the necessary changes. Those have one conflict now, and I created my own fork to address it.

However, I don't know, how to make it known without obsoleting the #346 -- and claiming the credit, that duly belongs there...

Good work but I would not hold my breath getting it merged anytime soon. This is saga is 4 years old now at least.
