Getting specific revisions of MySQL

Asked by Michael Mounteney

Hello, I am working on this http://research.sun.com/projects/parfait project and my task is to acquire samples of source code with identified bugs, to see if our static analysis tool can detect them. As part of this task, I would like to have access to specific versions of the mysql server code. Thus, I tried:

     bzr checkout -r 5.0.7 https://code.lauchpad.net/mysql-server mysql-server-5.0.7
     bzr checkout -r 4.1.12 https://code.lauchpad.net/mysql-server mysql-server-4.1.12
     bzr checkout -r 5.0.43 https://code.lauchpad.net/mysql-server mysql-server-5.0.43

etc. but whatever is given as the version number, the source (seen with diff -r) is always the same. No warning message is given about invalid version numbers or similar. So what's going on ? Two questions:

1. Why doesn't bizarre warn about an invalid version number ?
2. How DOES one check out specific versions ?

If Mysql has tagged revisions (which it looks like they have, you would use):

bzr co -r tag:mysql-5.0.7 lp:mysql-server mysql-server-5.0.7

same for tag:mysql-4.1.12.

I see tags for 5.0.42 and 5.0.44, but I don't see a tag for 5.0.43. In fact, I don't see *any* odd numbered tags in that range, the last I see is 5.0.25, everything >=26 only has even numbered tags.

I'm not sure what is happening when you supply "-r 5.0.7" my guess is the revision number is not present, which is causing the lookup function to return None, which causes the calling code to think you didn't supply a revision.

I'll try to look at it, because it certainly is odd behavior.

Can you help with this problem?
