You might remember that MySQL was aquired by Sun, which later went into Oracle (who won’t? 
). As usual in such a process network infrastructure is being merged to ease managing it. Such a merge is currently in process with the effect that previously publicly available servers are now behind Oracle’s firewalls. From a security point of view this is good news, not so for services that relied on this access. One of them is our copy of all old GUI tools repositories on Launchpad. These repositories have been made available 3 years ago when we prepared the switch to MySQL Workbench as our main product. The idea behind it was that anybody who is interested can work on the code and propose patches.
As you can see there this hasn’t worked out well. No merges were proposed during all the time, so we are going to use this interruption of the Launchpad mirroring to stop this entirely. It does not make sense to have Launchpad work as pure download place (if at all). The GUI tools repositories will be removed (the one for Scintilla Cocoa will stay). The source code of the old tools can still be downloaded via our archive page as before.
