This package was rejected on 20 Apr 2017. The reviewer chocolatey-ops has listed the following reason(s):

dtgm (maintainer) on 20 Jul 2016 17:28:51 +00:00:

User 'dtgm' (maintainer) submitted package.

freefilesync has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
Congratulations! This package passed automatic validation review without flagging on any issues the validator currently checks. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 20 Jul 2016 19:31:08 +00:00:

freefilesync has failed automated testing.
This is not the only check that is performed so check the package page to ensure a 'Ready' status.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/7c6002c7373e0ae37a0068bb40400a92 for details.
The package status will be changed and will be waiting on your next actions.

  • NEW! We have a test environment for you to replicate the testing we do. This can be used at any time to test packages! See https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-test-environment
  • Please log in and leave a review comment if you have questions and/or comments.
  • If you see the verifier needs to rerun testing against the package without resubmitting (a issue in the test results), you can do that on the package page in the review section.
  • If the verifier is incompatible with the package, please log in and leave a review comment if the package needs to bypass testing (e.g. package installs specific drivers).
  • Automated testing can also fail when a package is not completely silent or has pop ups (AutoHotKey can assist - a great example is the VeraCrypt package).
  • A package that cannot be made completely unattended should have the notSilent tag. Note that this must be approved by moderators.

We've found freefilesync v8.3 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.

Take action:

  • Log in to the site and respond to the review comments.
  • Resubmit fixes for this version.
  • If the package version is failing automated checks, you can self-reject the package.

If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.

Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

http://www. freefilesync.org/download/FreeFileSync_8.3_Windows_Setup.exe doesn't like scripts. Try curl, it will answer with 403 and "Direct access to /download/FreeFileSync_8.3_Windows_Setup.exe is not allowed.". If lying about User-Agent is an option then Mozilla one is working. I'm getting 302 redirection to: http://www.mediafire.com/download/wqesw83fzna0bxj/FreeFileSync_8.3_Windows_Setup.exe
Any ideas how to deal with that?

ferventcoder (reviewer) on 11 Oct 2016 18:29:33 +00:00:

No, it appears they are blocking us directly currently. It's something I am going to take to have a conversation with them and ask what we can do because I think it's a limiting issue for them.

AdmiringWorm (reviewer) on 20 Apr 2017 14:18:27 +00:00:

from the version submitted after this one it seems chocolatey is no longer blocked, but the package fails because the install hangs.
So rerunning the tests.

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move freefilesync v8.3 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
