Alternate locations for online pickaxe?

ruby-talk
1

Since rubycentral seems to be down due to registration problems apparently
at the hosting company… and this sort of think might take a while to
sort out…

Are there other locations where the pickaxe book (Programming Ruby) is
available online so I can direct potential rubyists (pre-rubyists) there?

I’ve got a non-current version on nero.netwalk.org/ruby/ for personal
use. Feel free to acccess it in the meantime.

I believe you’ll see an icon of the book cover in the lower left corner.
Click on that.

For a long time I was going to create a mirror for the book, however
www.rubycentral.com was always up and I kept putting this off. I will do
this first thing after the site is up again. By the way, are there any legal
considerations for making the book’s mirror?

Those of you running debian can just apt-get install rubybook; the
contents of the book are saved in /usr/share/doc/rubybook/html/.

I’ve been having a mirror for translation purposes. I updated it to 0.4
which I had lying around, and made a shorter URL:
ruby.no

The XML and HTML:
ruby.no

I don’t think my poor little server can take too much, so I recommend
downloading the tgz for local viewing and others with more bandwidth to
mirror.

By the way, are there any legal
considerations for making the book’s mirror?

Gee, I hope not. I think I’m in accordance with the OPL license in doing
this, and I’ve been reading it upwards, downwards, sideways and every
direction beneath the sun :slight_smile:

Those of you running debian can just apt-get install rubybook; the
contents of the book are saved in /usr/share/doc/rubybook/html/.

Also, the book is available for FreeBSD in the ruby-programmingruby port
(/usr/ports/lang/ruby-programmingruby)
