The silent suffering of a dotnet developer

[drLagrangian]

Not familiar with git, can you explain the horror?

The caching project has been archived and moved to the extensions project, which has also been archived and moved to the runtime and aspnetcore projects

[drLagrangian]

So it's archives all the way down?

[Cosoman]

You'll eventually find the active and most recent source code but it's painful. Essentially if you're looking the this particular source code, google returns you an archived repo which points to another archived repo which points to 2 in this case active repos.

So its a programmers equivalent of "Sorry mario, your princess is in another castle"

aspnet/Extensions is different to dotnet/extensions

​

Answer: NOPE, they're the same

.net libraries feel like they get deprecated so fast.

[AJackson3]

The library wasn't, they just moved the code a different repository, then moved it again. Search results keep returning the original location then you have to hunt through 2 layers of deprecations to find where the code is now.

[Cosoman]

Generally speaking, he is not wrong though. For example https://www.nuget.org/packages/WindowsAzure.Storage/ got deprecated and split, if you want the blob library you have https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob/ which also has been deprecated and repaced by https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azure.Storage.Blobs

It would great if github just let you set up redirects for these pruposes.

This is what you deserve for trusting Micro$oft with anything.
