Description
This package contains development libraries built with optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME. The "optimize_for = LITE_RUNTIME" option causes the compiler to generate code which only depends libprotobuf-lite, which is much smaller than libprotobuf but lacks descriptors, reflection, and some other features.
Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
