protobuf (Google's data interchange format)
|
|
|
|
Protocol buffers are a flexible, efficient, automated mechanism for
|
|
serializing structured data, think XML, but smaller, faster, and
|
|
simpler. You define how you want your data to be structured once,
|
|
then you can use special generated source code to easily write and
|
|
read your structured data to and from a variety of data streams
|
|
and using a variety of languages. You can even update your data
|
|
structure without breaking deployed programs that are compiled
|
|
against the "old" format.
|

|
|
If you've already installed the compiz packages you will need
|
|
to rebuild the libcompizconfig and compizconfig-python against
|
|
the new version of protobuf.
