This is a repo for the archives of a high school magazine "Nirvana", operated during 2009-2016, a fork of this post, which is also saved here.

Previews of the pdf files should work on Github. To view or download individual files, navigate to the file you wish to download, click on the Download button.

To download the complete archive files, see Releases to the right, or run the following command to clone the repo your local storage:

sudo apt install git

or on Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S git

Nirvana's Wechat account timeline is hosted at https://nirvana-wechat.jing.rocks, which you may also download from Releases.

Requirement:

To view the pdf files, you need:

• a pdf viewer. E.g., KDE Okular, Firefox.

• a file archiver to decompress the archive files. For .7z files, use KDE Ark or install 7-zip using your system's package manager to install p7zip-full (on Debian GNU/Linux).

Known issues (please report issues in the Github Issues section above)

• Accessibility. The contents are mostly of moderate to low scan quality and have accessibility issues. Screen reader software may not work. ----> Hard to fix this is. Meditate on this I will.

• Mismatched cover and file name of pdf/NirvanaYearly_2013-2014C.pdf. ----> This has been addressed in issue #1 and fixed in commit eca7049. There was an editorial issue that year and the cover of the magazine was incorrect. The fix also includes pdf/NirvanaYearly_2015-2016.pdf. Note that the archive file from 2018 contains incorrect file names.

• The quality of pdf/NirvanaYearly_2014-2015.pdf is very low. Rework needed. ----> Raised in issue #3. No plan to fix this. May reopen the issue once regaining physical access to the magazine. If anyone has the magazine in hand and has access to a scanner, please create a fork and a pull request. Thank you.

• Inconsistent timestamp and size of files ----> some files were modified (before 2022) without a version control. Also Github has a file size limit of 100MiB. Some smaller version of pdf files were used and "-s" is appended to each of those file names.
