Adds scanly, a third-party manga reader for the reMarkable Paper Pro.

  • AppLoad app (Qt6 / QML), depends="appload>=0.5.3".
  • Paper Pro only (!rm1 !rm2 !rmppm !rmppure).
  • Ships a prebuilt aarch64 payload (reader binary + bundled Qt linuxfb plugin + AppLoad manifest + launcher wrapper + icon) fetched from the upstream v0.4.0 release asset scanly-rmpp-0.4.0.tar.gz; installs to /home/root/xovi/exthome/appload/scanly/.
  • Upstream: https://github.com/Err0r-v2/Scanly

scripts/validate-velbuild.sh packages/scanly/VELBUILD passes; sha512sums are populated and verified against the published release asset and the tagged LICENSE.

Scanly: a third-party manga reader for the reMarkable Paper Pro. AppLoad
app (Qt6/QML) that pulls its prebuilt aarch64 payload from the upstream
v0.4.0 GitHub release.

Some things that stand out to me:

  • I feel like there might be ways to do less direct fb / refresh handling, but I'm not terribly familiar with qtfb, and I don't believe another qtquick app has been packaged yet
  • There are envs in the run.sh that should be in external.manifest.json
  • Editing the OrientationLocked in ~/.config/remarkable/xochitl.conf without a xochitl restart doesn't seem to do anything
