what's the frequency of update of the proto files corpus?

[proppy]

It seems that the latest version (2.4.0) is not in sync with https://github.com/googleapis/googleapis

See below:

Should we clarify the frequency of update in the README.md file?

It's indeed not in sync. We do update it as needed.

@proppy Can you share your use case with this package? Is there any specific reason why you're using it and not the @google-cloud/* client libraries (that also have protos included)?

[alexander-fenster]

@summer-ji-eng Let's schedule some time to update the protos in this package.

[proppy]

@alexander-fenster as it also includes non-cloud APIs (like https://source.corp.google.com/piper///depot/google3/google/home/graph/v1/homegraph.proto), it's possibly used by developers willing to gain enhanced performance/optimize resource consumption over the generic Node.js client: https://github.com/googleapis/google-auth-library-nodejs

did we update the protos @alexander-fenster @summer-ji-eng ? what are the next steps here?

[alexander-fenster]

We did it two days ago, the latest release 2.5.0 contains the recent protos. @summer-ji-eng We need to setup a process of regular proto updates, maybe monthly will work. In the normal case, it's just an empty feat: PR (git checkout -b update && git commit --allow-empty -m 'feat: update protos' && git push origin update) and then a release.
