Great work, bug #12704861 was fixed!

MySQL Community Server 5.1.60 has been released and I am very happy because the release notes state that bug #12704861 has been fixed. I know this bug quite well. As my readers are very busy let me provide all of the details that have been made available to the community:
InnoDB Storage Engine: Data from BLOB columns could be lost if the server crashed at a precise moment when other columns were being updated in an InnoDB table. (Bug #12704861)

  1. Soon we might not even have patches as the launchpad trees aren't being updated.

  2. From https://code.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/trunk the last update was Nov 2. Is a 2 week gap not normal?

  3. The Lunchpad stopped being updated quite some time ago. The last tree is 5.1.58 and ~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-trunk says:

    "This branch may be out of date, because Launchpad has not been able to access it since 2011-09-10."

    I wrote to Keith Larson on Sep 19 but I did not receive any response. :-(

  4. There was a lag a few months back, then that was resolved. This looks like a new issue. Guess it is time to change focus -- maybe MongoDB.

  6. @RME, that is incorrect, few days back I built mysql from source using that tree and it was 5.6.4.

    @Mark, the tree is updated now. Just pulled it, have to merge now. I think Stewart also posted on mysql list about tree not updated. They seem to have responded.
