This gets most of Paperback running under Linux, either directly on Nix via
nix run, or via Flatpak standalone bundles attached to each PR/release.What doesn't work?
Even with these limitations, having something I can throw just about any document I might want to read at under Linux and get back an accessible version is something I was going to write myself 6 months ago, so thanks for saving me the trouble! I think this is very useful even in its current form.
Followup
Additional tasks to pursue once this gets merged--I'm happy to look into them but I'll put them here in case others might be interested:
Disclosure
This PR was made largely with the help of Claude Code. As per my usual agentic workflow, I've reviewed every line of this PR. While nothing appears to
rm -rf /or exfiltrate the nuclear launch codes, I can't speak to:-Werrorflagged a bunch of issues with my version of GCC, and not having done C++ in a couple decades, I let Claude fix them. At first glance it looks like pedantic style/correctness fixes, and a variable rename to prevent a shadowing-related error, but that's the smallest part of the diff so hopefully should be easy to review.
