 If upgrading/modification is needed, please follow the steps:
  - Synchronize the latest protobuf source files from the upstream projects into directory 'vendor/'.
- - Re-generate the source files by `cargo build --features=generate_bindings`.
+ - Re-generate the source files by building this crate, e.g. `cargo build -p containerd-shim-protos`.
  - Commit the synchronized protobuf source files and auto-generated source files, keeping them in synchronization.
 
 ## Usage
