Top Open Source Licenses | Black Duck Software

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/10

About a year and a half ago, I came across the pie chart far below.

Luckily, the WayBack machine keeps historic copies of that page, so I could deduct the below table over time indicating the historic popularity of each license.

My deduction so far:

  1. The top 5 has the same ranking, but different percentages
  2. The rise of the MIT license popularity comes almost entirely out of the other top 5 entries
  3. Below the top 5, it’s about percentage points that differ

I wonder how this evolves further over time.

Oh: and I need to improve my graphing skills to show this table in a nice graph better than the one on the right which has rank over time for reach license from 2016 until 2017.

This is the data extracted from the historic WayBack links:

Like there was never an Office 13.0, there was no Visual Studio 13.0: see the below table from Microsoft Visual Studio – Wikipedia: History

This influences tooling that searches for specific versions of Visual Studio or MSBuild (which has been available since Visual Studio 8.0 and up: MSBuild – Wikipedia: History).

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/06

On my research list:

Borg

Deduplicating archiver
with compression and encryption

BorgBackup (short: Borg) gives you:

  • Space efficient storage of backups.
  • Secure, authenticated encryption.
  • Compression: LZ4, zlib, LZMA.
  • Mountable backups with FUSE.
  • Easy installation on multiple platforms: Linux, macOS, BSD, …
  • Free software (BSD license).
  • Backed by a large and active open source community.

Registering/unregseting Windows file associations with Delphi

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/02

As I need this one day: [WayBack] Just in case I need this again… >Free library DSiWin32 … now implements this as DSiRegisterUserFileAssoc and DSiUnregisterUserFileAssoc <… – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+

Note file has moved from WayBack: gpdelphiunits.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/DSiWin32.pas to [WayBack] OmniThreadLibrary/DSiWin32.pas at master · gabr42/OmniThreadLibrary · GitHub because Google code has shut down.

There still is [WayBack] Google Code Archive – Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting: gpdelphiunits, but maintenance is now part of [WayBack] GitHub – gabr42/OmniThreadLibrary: A simple and powerful multithreading library for Delphi

GExperts: searching for case-insensitive “T*List.Create” but not “TStringList.Create”

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/02

Just learned that partial exclusion can be done with the case-insensitive GExperts Grep Search like this:

T[^s][^t][^r][^i][^n][^g].*List.*\.Create

This will skip TStringList.Create, but matches TMyList.Create.

I’d rather have done something like this, but the Delphi RegEx does not support negative lookbehind:

^ *[a-zA-Z0-9_]* *: *T(<!string)[a-zA-Z0-9_]*ListO? *;$

So the alternative is to search for this:

^ *[a-zA-Z0-9_]* *: *T[a-zA-Z0-9_]*ListO? *;$

then exclude all the case insensitive TStringList entries from it, however GExperts did not support that at the time of writing.

This is an intermediate that works for some of the times:

^ *[a-zA-Z0-9_]* *: *T[^s][^t][^r][^i][^n][^g][a-zA-Z0-9_]*ListO? *;$

–jeroen

^ *[a-zA-Z0-9_]* *: *T[^s][^t][^r][^i][^n][^g][a-zA-Z0-9_]*ListO? *$;
^ *[a-zA-Z0-9_]*: .T[a-zA-Z0-9_]*ListO? *;$;
^ *[a-zA-Z0-9_]* *: *T(?!string)[a-zA-Z0-9_]*ListO? *;$

Show SCSI / HBA modules in ESXi 6.5 with file and version information

Posted by jpluimers on 2019/05/02

A small script I made: Show SCSI / HBA modules in ESXi 6.5 with file and version information:

MODULES=`esxcfg-scsidevs --hbas | awk 'FNR > 0 {print $2}'`
for MODULE in $MODULES ; do
    # echo "Probing $MODULE"
    vmkload_mod --showinfo $MODULE | grep 'file: \|Version'
done

The script is based on ideas from [WayBack] Determining Network/Storage firmware and driver version in ESXi 4.x and later (1027206) | VMware KB

It works in at least ESXi 6.5 where it shows this on one of my systems:
