Re: ARInside source code

2009-05-21 Thread Stefan Nerlich


 I guess you are missing ar.h This file is part of the ARSystem API and you 
will find it on your ARSystem Server, can download it from bmc.com and aswell 
from http://arswiki.org/wiki/Remedy_API_Downloads. After installing the 
ARSystem include files and libraries you have to set the VS Project settings 
and point the compiler and linker to your choosen API directories.

 

Best regards

 Hi Cary,
 
 It's not just a forum that supports attachments - you can also post
 documents in a standalone area. For example:
 
 http://developer.bmc.com/communities/docs/DOC-1907
 
  Maybe if BMC [...] customers to contribute (and search the contents of)
 
 The BMC DN does have a pretty good search capability built in. For
 example:
 
 http://developer.bmc.com/communities/search.jspa?communityID=2002resultTypes=BLOG_POSTresultTypes=DOCUMENTresultTypes=MESSAGEresultTypes=BLOGresultTypes=COMMUNITYresultTypes=TASKresultTypes=PROJECTresultTypes=SOCIAL_GROUPresultTypes=COMMENTpeopleEnabled=trueq=advanced+admin+tool
 
 
 was a search of Advanced Admin Tool and it found Vincent's document page
 as the first hit.
 
 You are correct that it's not a replacement (currently) for something like
 sourceforge.net, but it would be a place to post numbered releases to
 ensure that BMC customers are aware of the hard work put into the project
 and benefit from it.

 David,
 
 I would have suggested BMC DN if it also had tools to help people develop
 Open Source projects. However the last time I looked, BMC DN offered
 nothing in the way of a source control system, a project Wiki, mailing
 lists for the project or any other set of features that would be helpful to
 maintain and/or grow a software project.
 
 However, it has been a while since I last looked at BMC DN. Has any of that
 changed? Or is it mostly a forum based web site that supports attachments?
 
 Maybe if BMC could use a product like RKM (Remedy Knowledge
 Management) for it's customers to contribute (and search the contents
 of) then I think it would be more helpful than the forum based web site. (
 Just a thought. )

ARInside source code

2009-05-20 Thread Stefan Nerlich

Hello List,

iam releasing the complete C++ source code for ARInside in the hope it will be 
useful for someone. ARInside is a commandline application that generates linked 
HTML pages to document ARSystem workflow. The program can be run in online mode 
connecting to an ARSystem server or file mode using an ARSystem Administrator 
generated XML server definition file. In advance a Packing List with all 
ARSystem server objects not to include in the documentation can be specified in 
the application configuration. ARInside has been awarded as Best 3rd Party 
ARSystem releated Product (Freeware) by the ARSlist 2006.

 

http://devdor.org/files/src/arinside_src.zip (~300KB)

 

I have converted the project successfully to Visual Studio 2008 but Microsoft 
Visual C/C++ 6.0 and Remedy (C) ARSystem API 7.x or higher will be sufficient 
to compile the project. Then, a working .exe should fall out of the linker, if 
not, you've certainly done something wrong. Please DON'T contact me in this 
case :) In any case, feel free to learn from these sources, or maybe bash me 
for the bad coding style.

 

Anyway, have a good time with this,

Re: ARInside source code

2009-05-20 Thread Stefan Nerlich

Axton,

thank you for your email. I changed the license to GPL Version 2 and updated 
the source archive ( http://devdor.org/files/src/arinside_src.zip ). I 
appreciate your offer to host the source code.

 

Thanks,

Stefan

Subject: Re: ARInside source code
To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG

** I do not know of a license that will prevent people from selling software.  
The gpl offers some restrictions on selling of software in binary form though, 
meaning they will have to provide the source for free, whether or not a person 
purchases the software (which kind of makes moot selling the software).  The 
gpl has the restriction that people that make a binary form available are also 
required to make the source code of the same available.

See this page for more information on gpl/selling:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html

While this may not directly state what you want, I think it will accomplish 
what you would like to see.  I would offer to host the source code for free (no 
binaries).  I do take donations for the support of arswiki.org, but I think 
I've received upwards of 50USD in the last 4 years in donations; it's not a 
money making effort.

When you relicense/release under the terms of a license,  you still own the 
original code line up to the point of relicense so you can do with that as you 
please (license, sell, rebrand, etc.), but once it is gpl'd, other people that 
modify/contribute are copyright holders of their changes, so you can not go out 
and take back other people's changes under the original terms without consent 
from the other copyright holders.  In essence, you give up some of your rights 
to the software so that the software is free for others to use it as they see 
fit under the terms of the license.

The text of the GPL licenses are available here:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php

I think this covers your goals in the following ways:
1. Your copyright will always be maintained in the source code
2. The source code for anyone's changes (including your copyright), if made 
public, will be required to be available to anyone
3. It prevents other people from imposing further restrictions on the software
4. Binary form of the program, if it has a UI, should provide a means to view 
the copyright holder information
5. Disallows people from incorporating the software into closed source programs 
(meaning the copyright will not be obfuscated nor will the code be resold as 
part of a closed source project)

And it would also have the following added benefits:
1. You have a disclaimer of no implied warranty for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS 
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE

The gpl license is viral in nature, meaning that it perpetuates and forces the 
software to be open and other software that uses the code to be open.

While I am not trying to advocate any license, I am a fan of the bsd license.  
It would by no means impose the openness restrictions the gpl does though, so 
it may not be suited for your goals.  The text of the bsd license is available 
here:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php

As a disclaimer, I am not a lawyer, but I am an open source advocate and try to 
stay knowledgeable on the subject.

As a programmer i agree with Matthew that a source repository system 
(subversion preferred) is an important prerequisite considering true version 
history and efficient branching if someone decides to update the application.

  Starting an open sourced project under a defined software license where

  is much more beneficial.
 
 
  Could I suggest that you start a project on arswiki.org with this source

  Maybe the project will not go anywhere.. but then again.. maybe it will. :)

OT: ARInside beta testers

2006-09-13 Thread Stefan Nerlich
**
Hi All,i'm seeking some beta testers for the next release of ARInside. Currently, I'm in the stage that I need some people to try to break the new stuff and make properly argumented recommendations about what to change. If you like to work with unreleased applications and have enough time please send me a mail and include informations about your ARSystem installations (version, application size, ...).
I intend to release the next version of ARInside in Q4/06 with the following changes:+ Remove all MFC relations that currently exist and prepare plattform independency+ Improve memory management.+ Speed up the loading and documentation processes.
+ At least 2 different html layouts (lightweight html without graphics and standard layout)+ Additional data information exports to xml (for example ARQualifierstruct.ToString())
+ Enhanced settings file configuration+ Implement a 'blacklist' to exclude server objects from documentation+ Limit ARSystem api calls to ARGet(...) and prepare(!) code for optional offline version using ARSystem Def-Xml export file as datasource
Thanks,Stefan Nerlich ( http://system.devdor.net )
