You shouldn't have added mir-core dependency.

stdx allocators repository has a branch named "2.77.z" ([1]) that doesn't rely on mir-core. Most (if not all) of the tools based on dparse + stdx allocs use this branch, exactly to prevent the dependency. For example here, in the folder names, [2], the "@ <hash>" points to the last commit of this "2.77.z" branch. The reference is concretely stored somewhere in the ".git" folder, so when people do "git submodule update" the right branch is automatically selected.

Good to know, I'll change the submodule to direct to that branch of stdx-allocator. Thanks!

Akira, I'm sorry but I've reported your revival attempt to GH, with the hope that they'll remove it,  because I'm not happy with how you've botched the git history.

For anyone who's interested to buy dexed and to take the leadership on the project, I sell dexed, so a a git project, with intact commits tree, 2500€.

Someone replied on your reddit thread with a more up to date version (3.7.9) that includes the git commit history.

Well well well they refused anyway. It looks like it's dead forever now about monetizing the work.

Here is the original project as a bare repository so that you can verify that the user I've reported didn't play fairly and destroyed the git history.

https://c.gmx.com/@558129942915716568/XF6bnHFWSLenLobZiKxmcg

The file is protected with a password that is the full email address used to send this email.
Note that I only provide the file as mean of verification and it must not be used or shared in any other context.

To clarify my request that is to block or delete the user repository:

The history of a project is essential to understand how it has evolved over time. The commits messages are essential to understand why something is done in a way and not another. The history also allows to revert changes and to track regressions. Typically a git repository also contains branches with partial work that may be useful, this is the case here.

That's why I do not accept the way the user I've reported restarted the project. It's a tag of disrespect, toward 5 years of work.
I do not blame the user to get on developping the software, I blame it for destroying the software "as a project".

Thanks for your understanding.

Akira13641has uploaded a repository of mine, botching/squashing the whole git history, without even contacting me, while it was deleted explictely from your site by myself (old account was Basile-z)

The repository is https://github.com/Akira13641/dexed

I can provide the project with intact history in case of. I wish his repo to be blocked unless he conserves the whole history of the commits (that's several thousands).

After moving away from github, you forgot to copy at least build and installation instructions ;) Now all your README.md links are 404ed.

The doc source is still there but not rendered and not served anymore.

I clearly didn't *intentionally* leave out the history. It simply didn't exist in the tarball someone on Reddit found, that I restored the repo from. Looking at some other comments from more recently here though it seems they did later on find one with the history intact (and more up to date sources), so I'll see if I can merge that all in.
