Usage instructions at the end of the homepage:

https://forge.soutade.fr/soutade/libgourou/

adept_activate -u <AdobeID USERNAME> # once to login

or

adept_activate --anonymous to use an anonymous account with no need to login

and then download with:

acsmdownloader -f <ACSM_FILE>

After the encrypted document file is downloaded:

adept_remove filename.epub

and now you have a clear epub (or pdf)

I've taken over maintenance of the libgourou AUR package and updated to the latest version. Also, I noticed some warnings about $srcdir references in the compiled binaries, and submitted a patch to the libgourou author to resolve this. (I wasn't able to get SSH authentication to work on their Gitea instance, to submit a pull request.)

In case the package is not updated upstream, I can add the patch to the PKGBUILD here. The gist is adding -fmacro-prefix-map=$(ROOT)/= to CXXFLAGS in utils/Makefile, to prevent __FILE__ from expanding to an absolute path within header files.

@Squidward, good eye! Thank you, as well as thank you to the package maintainer.

@frosty-tango the site seems to be back up

Links this package and related (gourou-bin, gourou-git, gourou-appimage) point to are down:

fatal: unable to connect to forge.soutade.fr:
forge.soutade.fr[0: 176.131.178.13]: errno=Connection refused
forge.soutade.fr[1: 2001:861:3186:7f80::de8:e7e5]: errno=Network is unreachable

Package does not build.

Git links were broken.

Fixed.

It still works with the original git repo.

I had to replace the git urls with the extendended one mopalinski mentioned again.

Here are automatic mirrors that I created: https://git.mopalinski.com/soutade/libgourou https://git.mopalinski.com/soutade/uPDFParser

mopalinski commented on 2024-05-15 21:08 (UTC)

Once the website is back up again, I can create a mirror on my Gitea instance. I don't think GitHub can create auto-syncing mirrors.

vcalv commented on 2024-05-15 20:44 (UTC)

Now the site is down so nothing works.

One day this entire codebase might be gone.

I suggest people take appropriate precautions.

mopalinski commented on 2024-05-14 17:55 (UTC)

Woah, now it works perfectly fine... Very weird, I swear it was not building. Maybe it was a temporary outage on the forge.soutade.fr side.
