WARNING

This package was rejected on 06 Nov 2020. The reviewer chocolatey-ops has listed the following reason(s):

alxnull (maintainer) on 22 Aug 2020 19:40:02 +00:00:

User 'alxnull' (maintainer) submitted package.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 22 Aug 2020 20:11:07 +00:00:

pinwin has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Guidelines

Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

  • The nuspec has been enhanced to allow packageSourceUrl, pointing to the url where the package source resides. This is a strong guideline because it simplifies collaboration. Please add it to the nuspec. More...
Notes

Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

  • The package maintainer field (owners) matches the software author field (authors) in the nuspec. The reviewer will ensure that the package maintainer is also the software author. More...
  • Binary files (.exe, .msi, .zip) have been included. The reviewer will ensure the maintainers have distribution rights. More...

pinwin 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/3f63da964911afe1f5e27c5ef96742cb 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.

Fails verification because dependency requires reboot.

AdmiringWorm (reviewer) on 31 Aug 2020 08:11:53 +00:00:

It looks like the dependency encountered some kind of error, this is rare but happens sometimes.
Re-running the verification tests, if it fails again feel free to comment and we can look into getting an exemption going for this package.
Auto Verification Change - Verification tests have been set to rerun.

We've found pinwin v0.2.2 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.

Package depends on .NET Framework (dotnetfx) package which is itself exempted from verification testing. All my other packages dependent on dotnetfx (vividl, colora, mpos) are exempted from verification testing too.

flcdrg (reviewer) on 06 Nov 2020 07:21:32 +00:00:

Please resolve these to allow this package to be approved:

  • If you are the software author, please confirm that via a comment here. Alternatively, if you are not the software author, put your own name in the owners field.

Also, if possible:

  • Add packageSourceUrl to point to where the package source resides

thanks,
David

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move pinwin v0.2.2 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'.

alxnull (maintainer) on 07 Nov 2020 10:14:31 +00:00:

I'm the author of the software. The package is built from the project source.

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.
