Description:
I need the version of mysql-5.1.8.tar.gz, but I can not find it everywhere, where can I get the mysql-5.1.8.tar.gz?

Thank you very much!

How to repeat:
please give the link.

It was never released.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.1/en/news-5-1-8.html

Why do you need an old version like this?  Please, use 5.5.30 and 5.6.10!

First 6.0.0, then 5.1.8 ... what are you up to?

because I am reading a book, and I have talked with the author and he said he used the mysql-5.1.8.tar.gz in his book.

Hartmut Holzgraefe：
Thank you for your reply. Now , I am developing some storage engnie.At present, I think I need the mysql-5.1.7.tar.gz, or mysql-5.1.9.tar.gz, but I can not find them , could you give me some link to find them? Thank you!

From Oracle, we can only provide you with what is here:
http://downloads.mysql.com/archives.php

Some older mirrors might provide the ancient versions you seek.

Even my personal archive doesn't reach that far back into pre-GA release land ...

You should be able to extract the source from the bzr repository on launchpad though:

  bzr co -r tag:mysql-5.1.18 lp:mysql-server/5.1

Stupid typo in the tag name :(

Use this instead:

  bzr co -r tag:clone-5.1.8-build lp:mysql-server/5.1

or for 5.1.7 use either "tag:mysql-5.1.7" or "tag:clone-5.1.8-build"

Hartmut Holzgraefe， thank you very much! I am looking for mysql-5.1.7.tar.gz, mysql-5.1.8.tar.gz, mysql-5.1.9.tar.gz for a very long time.I am desperate!!!!!!!!! I can not find them anywhere.

I will have a try!
