If you're looking to help with Arcalibre development, it's now a bit easier to do so! The rereading/pyreading repo on Codeberg builds two Python packages that are used by Arcalibre, but that can be developed, built, and tested separately from any other Arcalibre code.

They're both Maturin-based, using Python to wrap some Rust logic so that it can be used with only glibc as a runtime dependency.

@xgranade Interesting to watch the progress so far. I notice that there appears to be no mention of the arcalibre fork on the calibre forums on MobileRead. Why is that?
@newbery I'm not really active over there, I suppose? Perhaps once things get a bit further and it's usable for testing, I'll post something, yeah.
@xgranade Fair enough. For what it's worth, I mentioned this effort to some friendlies in that community.
@newbery That's awesome, thank you! And yeah, posting there is a really good idea, thanks for suggesting it!
