Marking as draft because I will try to do some tests in my fork first. |
Dependabot fails to update grpc/protobuf dependencies correctly, as it limits itself to update build dependencies, but leave the runtime dependencies untouched. This doesn't work because protobuf/grpc need to be generated with a version that is equals or older to the runtime version, so if we only bump the build dependency, a project might still depend on an older version at runtime, and we should not allow that. This commit adds an auto-migration workflow to fix this, while also ensuring the major version for protobuf is bumped accordingly when a major version bump occurs.

This PR adds an auto-migration workflow to fix this, while also ensuring the major version for protobuf is bumped accordingly when a major version bump occurs.
This is an experimental change. If this work the upgrade script will be moved to a separate repository and the workflow added to repo-config.
