I noticed today that the MariaDB 5.5 apt repository for Ubuntu 10.04 no longer exists. At first I thought this was due to the EOL for 10.04 but the 10.0 apt repository is still present in the repository configurator. I couldn’t find an announcement announcing the termination of these repositories.

It was announced in the MariaDB 5.5.43 release notes that the Ubuntu 10.04 "lucid" repository would be going away with the release of MariaDB 5.5.44: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-5543-release-notes/ The MariaDB 10.0 repositories for Ubuntu 10.04 will be going away when MariaDB 10.0.20 is released. This was announced in the MariaDB 10.0.18 release notes: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-10018-release-notes/ (Originally, the repo was scheduled to be deactivated with the 10.0.19 release, but because that release was an emergency one, coming only two days after 10.0.18, we went ahead and built 10.0.19 packages for lucid.)

Is this a temporary oversight or are these apt repositories gone forever?

They're going away forever. The builders have already been turned off, so we're not building packages for lucid any more. So when the next 10.0 and 10.1 releases come, their lucid repositories will go away. Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew, MariaDB Release Manager MariaDB | http://mariadb.com
