Meaning of NuGet - nuget

I wonder what the meaning of NuGet is. Is it something like blah blah get? Does it even have a meaningful name? Or is it an abbreviation of something or somebody decided that name for fun? Please help, that question has been eating my head for 1 week.

Look here.
Seems it was voted on.
It's a bit hard to say (maybe I didn't look into it well enough) but -- especially since pronunciation is "New Get" -- basically:
NuGet: A new way to get libraries.

Nu stands for -> "Nubular / Nu". Around mid-2010 Dru Sellers and gang (including Rob Reynolds aka #ferventcoder) built the fantastic “nu[bular]” project; this was itself a ruby gem. Team Nubular developed.
In October 2006 Nu became Nu v2, at which point it became NuPack; The Epic Trinity of Microsoft awesomeness – namely Scott Guthrie, Scott Hanselman, and Phil Haack – together with Dave Ebbo and David Fowler and the Nubular team took a mere matter of months to create the first fully open sourced project that was central to an MS product – i.e., VisualStudio which was accepted into the ASP.Net open source gallery in Oct 2006
It’s referred to as NuPack in the ASP.MVC 3 Beta release notes from Oct 6 2010 but underwent a name change due to a conflict with an existing product, NUPACK from Caltech.
NuGet! (finally)
There was a vote, and if you look through the issues listed against the project in codeplex you can see some of the other suggestions.
(Notice how none of the names available in the original vote are “NuGet”..)
Finally we have NuGet! The associated codeplex work item actually originally proposed “Nugget”, but that was change to NuGet.

sugarCRM 6.5 still updated?

I'm a little bit confused. I know that sugarCRM no longer supports version 6.5 as of 2016, but there are still security patches being applied in 2017 as per
http://support.sugarcrm.com/Resources/Security/sugarcrm-sa-2017-005/
Does this mean that no new functionalities will be added but security patches and bug fixes will still be applied?
Support vs maintenance
As per Clint's thread: https://community.sugarcrm.com/thread/18434
We are expecting to support and issue maintenance releases to v6.5
through summer 2015 when v6.5 hits it end-of-support period.
So I'm assuming that support for 6.5 ended in 2016, but on this page http://support.sugarcrm.com/Resources/Security/sugarcrm-sa-2017-005/ we see the mention:
The list of affected products reflect all currently maintained
versions at the publication date of this advisory.
Which is a bit confusing.
Thank you
As per Sugar support. So it's no longer supported in any way shape or form it seems
6.5 is no longer supported and no additional patches of any kind (including security) are being developed. End of life for 6.5 was
reached in July 2017. Our current supported versions list can be found
here: http://support.sugarcrm.com/Resources/Supported_Versions/. This
blog post may also be helpful to read, especially if you're using CE:
Sugar Community Edition open source project ends.

Where is the com.lowagie.database class?

I could not find the com.lowagie.database.DatabaseConnection and com.lowagie.database.HsqldbConnection in the itext-5.5.5.jar.
Thus I could not do the exercises in the book titled itext In Action. Does anyone know where they are?
You can find the classes here and here.
Which version of the book do you own? If you own the the first edition there was an update (second edition) released. In 2009 there was a bigger change to the iText library which also renamed the package from com.lowagie to com.itextpdf.
And as I just saw you may also have a look here.
The iText projects recently moved from SourceForge to Github. You can find all the code related to the second edition here: https://github.com/itext/book
Thanks all of you. My book is the second edition. According to my experience, I think the most convenient way to get the material needed for book's exercises is to go to the publisher website (www.Manning.com/lowagie2/) to download the source code (the big file 26MB).

Source Code Control / Version Control in MS Access

This is a general question about the topic. I ran across a post which gave VB script code for version control. I've been developing with Access for a while, but have learned entirely on my own and can be pretty ignorant of the the broader IT world. I got
the code to work for me, but I'm lost on how to put it to work as a system.
To give some context, I have an example situation that maybe this kind of thing could solve. I'm now working on two versions at once (1.2 and 1.3) because the first version we'd like to release has to be tested where it's to be used in China. They were out of the office for a week due to the Chinese new year, in the meantime, I'm working on 1.3. Now, any changes I have to make to 1.2 of course have to go into 1.3. Actually, it's worse than that because clarity over the fact that we'd have to do this in two separate releases didn't emerge until work had been done which in hindsight went further than we could incorporate in 1.2.
The code in the post basically dumps all of the info about forms, reports, VBA, and macros into a bunch of text files (for some reason not tables, and maybe that has something to do with the fact that I'm working with Access 2010 rather than whatever version this code was created for.) Apparently, it can then reconstruct an application from those same text files.
What do I need to understand about source code control to make such a thing work for me? I recognize that might not be something you'd want to explain in a post, but can you point me in the right direction information-wise?
While this question is 3 years old, it might be of interest to some to have an answer anyway.
AFAIK, accesssvn.codeplex.com -cited by #Robby Shaw - is not working and not maintained.
Today I see 2 products usable products for VCS inegration:
one is https://github.com/timabell/msaccess-vcs-integration which is quite active
the other one is Microsoft Access 2010 Source Code Control for which I don't know if it works with more recent versions of Access
Apart from VCS, you could also use a database compare tool like Microsoft's Database Compare 2013
Also worth considering, Accdbmerge, a tool to merge 2 databases.

How to installing eUML2 free-version in Eclipse 3.6

I need to do some UML diagrams, and doing the work right in Eclipse by reverse engineering classes is the best/fastest approach for me. Taking advise found elsewhere on Stack Overflow, I'm playing with eUML2.
The problem I have is this... I installed the Studio demo, and it worked well for us. However, for now, I just need to do the class diagrams which are available in the free edition. So I uninstalled the studio demo, and installed the free. However, it still thinks I have the studio demo installed as the background of my diagrams has it in 24pt font, and in the top right of the page it says "* Evaluation *".
Reading around, I assume this issue is around the problem with the license file contained in the install of the free version... or the fact that it is missing from the free version.
Anyone here figured out the license file issue with eUML2? Where can I find a free license, or an install with the free license in it? Where is the license stored in my install? can I just kill it?
I could ask this question on the Soyatec forum, however this question has been asked a number of times, with no answers provided. Either they do not monitor their forums, or one must pay the 100€ price for support to get an answer.
The studio license is installing a file in your folder user/.eclipse/configuration/... If you erase this file then the tool will consider it is a new install of the software.
Having said that I would not recommend to use eUML because it is full of bugs and adding UML tags in your code. A real mess mixing code and model !!
For your information it seems to me that it is intentional not to answer to any question and stop the Soyatec company.
Don't forget that Soyatec is more or less a kind of Omondo spin off. 4 shareholders having created the omondo company left it with the code of EclipseUML 2005. I know that the tool is now totally different because being revamped by a new team but the architecture is still more or less the same.
Omondo Corp is currently being under acquisition by a large US software company and once the sell will completed it could be possible that they claim redundancy package, or company shares etc... to the main shareholder who sacked them few years ago. They have a split contract but it seems that it is not valid.
Just money, always money. This world is disguising :-)

Is protovis still being actively developed?

Based on the commit history, it looks like protovis has not been touched since August 2010. Has the project been abandoned?
http://gitorious.org/protovis/protovis/commits/master
I'm evaluating javascript charting libraries for my company and would hesitate to recommend one that is no longer being developed.
Protovis is no longer being actively developed; instead, it has been reincarnated as D3.js:
http://mbostock.github.com/d3/
There is an introduction for Protovis users that elaborates on the major differences, and why we decided to develop a new library rather than make incremental improvements.
