Google bought Instantiations, the original devloper, back in 2010 and provided Window Builder Pro and CodePro AnalytiX free of charge. CodePro Profiler was handed over to Eclipse, commercial support was to be provided by OnPositive.

Binaries (32/64 bits) are available for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X.

Brad Yoes from IBM did a wonderful job in this article. I am pretty sure that you will find new insights even if you haven been working with Linux and/or UNIX for quite some time.

Some distinctive features of our SE Android reference implementation in comparison to prior efforts of which we are aware include:

• Per-file security labeling support for yaffs2,
• Filesystem images (yaffs2 and ext4) labeled at build time,
• Kernel permission checks controlling Binder IPC,
• Labeling of service sockets and socket files created by init,
• Labeling of device nodes created by ueventd,
• Flexible, configurable labeling of apps and app data directories,
• Userspace permission checks controlling use of the Zygote socket commands,
• Minimal port of SELinux userspace,
• SELinux support for the Android toolbox,
• Small TE policy written from scratch for Android,
• Confined domains for system services and apps,
• Use of MLS categories to isolate apps.

Or as Scott Hanselman put it: “It’s over and 7zip won”.

fopen("/etc/psa-webmail/atmail/.atmail.shadow")

For some reason, the fopen() call fails, but there are several ways of fixing this. The easiest is to get the database password from .atmail.shadow and hard-code it in Config.php.

Disclaimer: don’t do this if you don’t know exactly what you are doing, why you are doing it and which possible consequences might result.

Now, change your /var/www/atmail/libs/Atmail/Config.php like this:

//if (!($fd = fopen("/etc/psa-webmail/atmail/.atmail.shadow", "r"))) {
//  echo "<script>alert('Unable to get webmail password!')</script>";
//  exit();
//}
//fscanf($fd, "%s", $buff);
//fclose($fd);
$buff = 'MySQL_password';

Note that you changed an Atmail application file, and it is very likely to be reverted by the next Plesk/Atmail update. This patch will be very helpful in that situation.

Fortunately, there is lessmsi. It allows to open, inspect and extract Windows Installer packages.
For TortoiseHG, download the binary .msi package from the Mercurial homepage. Run lessmsi, open the .msi package and select “extract”. Mercurial will be extracted to WheretherYouExtracted\SourceDir\PFiles\TortoiseHg, and the original folder layout of Mercurial will be preserved.

Lessmsi is provided under the MIT License and does not require installation. Just download, unzip and run it.

  def log(item: _) : Unit = 
    println("you logged " + item)
 
  def main(args: Array[String]) : Unit =
  {
    log(42)
  }
}

The error message wasn’t not helping that much at the first glance:

/home/niels/tmp/test.scala:3: error: unbound wildcard type
	def log(item: _) : Unit = 
                      ^

To fix it, change the prototype of the log function like this:

	def log(item: Any) : Unit =

There is a pretty good overview of the Scala type hierarchy on the Scala homepage. In short, Scala Objects are subtypes of AnyRef. Primitive types (Int, Boolean, …) are subtypes of “AnyVal”. Both “AnyRef” and “AnyVal” are subtypes of “Any”, and substituting “Any” with “_” in prototypes and templates is not allowed in Scala 2.8.
