Hi Geode Friends! Since I didn't see any movement on rescuing Geode Protobuf into another repository, I went ahead and did that. It seemed like a better idea to me than trying to search commit history or old branches with git. It is located at
https://github.com/moleske/geode-protobuf I'm willing to move it into the Apache org if someone who is not lazy like me wants to help. I have only upgraded to Gradle 6.8.3 and pull Geode dependencies from Maven as the big changes. I add some GitHub actions for CI and to automatically open PRs to try and keep it up to date and working, mostly because I won't dedicate that much time to it. I just really dislike seeing code that seemed useful get lost like that (I spend a lot of time thinking about how to preserve technological history.) Anywho, hope this helps out anyone who might decide protobuf is worth spending time with. -michael
