[mapguide-users] No Feature Providers in Studio Preview

The quick answer is that the MySQL provider code base is located in
https://fdordbms.osgeo.org/. MySQL is packaged within a GenericRdbms
framework that allows RDBMS providers to share code. The two RDBMS
providers that have been open sourced are MySQL and ODBC. Other
proprietary providers developed using this architecture include the
Autodesk Oracle provider and Autodesk SQLServer provider.
The version of the FDO provider in the Subversion is 3.2. 3.2 can only
be run with MapGuide code contained in their Subversion. No official
MapGuide tar file posting exists at this time that uses 3.2.
Run the build_linux.sh script located under:
https://fdordbms.osgeo.org/source/browse/fdordbms/trunk/Providers/Generi
cRdbms/ in order to build the MySQL provider.
NOTE: running the above script will also build the ODBC provider.

Makes sense, but now the big question is: where/what subversion tree??
I have looked at fdo.osgeo.org backwards and forwards and can't find
anything concrete relating to a MySQL provider. The main project's SVN
trunk contains /www/docs and that's about it. All documents -- no
actual provider code. Many of the docs mention the MySQL provider, but
nowhere does it tell me where to actually go to get it. FDO's
subprojects consist of:
fdoarcsde, fdocore, fdogdal, fdoogr, fdordbms, fdosdf, fdoshp, fdowfs,
fdowms. I checked out fdordbms but no luck there either.
Sorry to be burning so much email on this but I'm starting to feel like
an idiot for not being able to find it...

P.S. Yes, originally I downloaded the tarball and that was it. No svn.
