1.14 breaks protoc-gen-go-json

[vivangkumar]

Hi there!

After moving public packages into internal as part of #1146, protoc-gen-go-json is now broken because it depended on the codegenerator and descriptor packages.

This is very similar to: #1161 and #1154

I think it would require moving the package back into the public namespace for the package to not be broken.

Hi Vivan, thanks for raising the issue. I'll move those packages back to the public API. Unfortunately I'm not able to make a patch release right now, so you'll have to use an older release.

@johanbrandhorst Thanks for the very quick response! Appreciate it - i'll follow this thread for any updates when you've moved the packages back into the public namespace.

As I mentioned, I can't make a patch release for this right now, so please use 1.13 until #1193 (comment) is resolved.

(Unless you want to use master, which is also fine)

[vivangkumar]

That works, thank you!

Could these packages be made public again in a future release please?

I've relied on them to build a custom generator and would like to upgrade it to use the protobuf v2 libs, but I'm stuck because these packages have now been made internal.

EDIT: I've created a new issue for this: #1877
