mysql-gui-tools 5.0r14-5 has not been updated since Jun '11. It no
longer builds. A fix for the build failure has been in the comments
since December. The package has been marked out of date since Dec 1.
Can we get this package orphaned and adopted by someone else please?

Ask the current maintainer to disown it?

I guess mysql-gui-tools can be completely removed. As far as I know
this has been renamed to MySQL Workbench by upstream. At least the URL
http://www.mysql.com/products/tools/ redirects to
https://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/.

The up-to-date AUR package is here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54960

And here are the mysql-gui-tools:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=42212

Correct. "It is the successor to DBDesigner 4 from fabFORCE.net, and
replaces the previous package of software, MySQL GUI Tools Bundle."

iirc there is a comment on there implying that the maintainer should
do so. I guess I thought since he hasn't taken the hint and hasn't
updated the package he's not around anymore. I can leave a specific
message on the package requesting this if you want.

I was actually trying to build mysql-gui-tools because mysql-workbench
was not working for me (it would stick at "Fetching..."). So I think
there is still some value in keeping it around. The interfaces are
quite different too.
