# Upgrading the Protobuf Library

1. Get a new protobuf release from https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases

2. Run `$ ./toolkit/components/protobuf/upgrade_protobuf.sh ~/path/to/release/checkout/of/protobuf`.

3. Update the moz.build to export the new set of headers and add any new .cc
   files to the unified sources and remove old ones.
