I'll update to protobuf 24.4 first. I've tested all dependent ports and it depends on bug #274859. After that, I'll consider updating to another version.
Ping as bug #274859 has been closed.
I've updated devel/protobuf to 24.4 in ports 69e2e87fa56b54e267429b326f7f6188a7baaa71. protobuf 25+ requires abseil 20230802.0+ while devel/abseil is 20230125.3 now. Let's wait for newer abseil in bug# 275887.
Updated to 27.3 in ports 216e30a7a540331337aa6a83938d7b2551f2e903. Thanks. Eventually, I could commit protoubf update after abseil updated to a newer version.
