WARNING

This package was rejected on 21 Jun 2019. The reviewer gep13 has listed the following reason(s):

Ginko (maintainer) on 10 Jun 2019 08:31:06 +00:00:

User 'Ginko' (maintainer) submitted package.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 10 Jun 2019 09:06:06 +00:00:

winmerge 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.

  • Using SourceForge as the download source of installers is not recommended. Please consider an alternative, official distribution location if one is available. More...
  • Release Notes (releaseNotes) are a short description of changes in each version of a package. Please include releasenotes in the nuspec. NOTE: To prevent the need to continually update this field, providing a URL to an external list of Release Notes is perfectly acceptable. More...
  • Tags (tags) should not contain 'chocolatey' as a tag. Please remove that in the nuspec. More...
  • Title (title) matches id exactly. Please consider using something slightly more descriptive for the title in the nuspec. More...
Suggestions

Suggestions are either newly introduced items that will later become Guidelines or items that are don't carry enough weight to become a Guideline. Either way they should be considered. A package version can be approved without addressing Suggestion comments.

  • The nuspec has been enhanced to allow more information related to the software. More... Please consider adding one or more of the following to the nuspec, if available:
    • docsUrl - points to the location of the wiki or docs of the software
    • mailingListUrl - points to the forum or email list group for the software
    • bugTrackerUrl - points to the location where issues and tickets can be accessed
    • projectSourceUrl - points to the location of the underlying software source
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...

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 10 Jun 2019 10:03:29 +00:00:

winmerge has passed 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/56c6d7822431910d8d13f4d580d43a8e for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

gep13 (reviewer) on 18 Jun 2019 06:41:03 +00:00:

Can I suggest that we don't use the package fix notation here, but rather, let's unreject the 2.16.2 package version, and push this package there?

Let me know how you would like to proceed.

Ginko (maintainer) on 18 Jun 2019 16:46:59 +00:00:

Ok, let's do that, I'm doing this now.

Ginko (maintainer) on 18 Jun 2019 16:51:25 +00:00:

I wait for u and i repush 2.16.2. The package is ready

gep13 (reviewer) on 21 Jun 2019 14:08:02 +00:00:

Ok, you should be able to push the package version 2.16.2 again. I will go ahead and reject this package version.
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.
