Extract protobuf spec into own repository

[sillydan1]

It's a bit too annoying with the copy-paste mess... Having the lsp.proto in a seperate repository would make it easier to synchronize versions.

Maybe also consider if there are someone who've made a protobuf package manager - this could also be your time to shine 🌞

Nevermind, this buffrs looks like the way to go (once they have the buffrs registry up and running)

I can't keep waiting for buffrs central repository to be done. I should just host the docker container on the gtz.dk servers for now.

[sillydan1]

It seems the registry container is still very much a work in progress. We might have to do something custom and temporary in the meanwhile.

Considerations:

• Simply host a nexus3 instance and publish a package there
• Git submodules 😠
• Just live with manually copying the file in plugins (gets crazy FAST)
• Write your own repo manager (such a huge effin' sidequest..., also this)

Hi @sillydan1,

we pivoted our efforts in buffrs towards supporting OCI registries over a custom registry.

See helsing-ai/buffrs#229 for tracking

Hi @mara-schulke!

That looks very interesting! I will make sure to keep an eye out for that!
