Broken ePub

[westfall]

Hi 👋,

Bought the ePub on Lulu when it was temporarily available today. The link to Lulu is now a 404.

All code blocks are not rendered in Books on iOS, I see some ePub changes were made after my purchase, so not sure if it has already been fixed.

The Lulu download link is also a link to a specific version, so those updates will never be available to those who bought it on Lulu. That is unfortunate since they bought it to support you 👍. I guess you should see if you can send those who bought it an update or something ☺️

I can generate a new ePub from this repository, not sure about the license though, but since I bought it guess it’s okay? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for your great libraries and content 🤗

EDIT: I see source code workaround for iBooks being mentioned in one of the commits from a few hours ago 🤗 Still not familiar with the license in use though, and it’s getting late ☺️

Given the license file at https://github.com/bigskysoftware/hypermedia-systems-book/blob/main/LICENSE.txt, you are at least allowed to generate the ePub from repository (regardless of whether you bought it or not) as long as you give proper attribution, do not change the license and will not sell it yourself. (Disclaimer: IANAL)

@westfall very sorry you got an early, broken verison of the book. Please email me (email on https://bigsky.software) and I'll get you an updated copy, if you haven't generated one yourself (or grabbed it off libgen :)
