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-community/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 balsamiqwireframes v4.6.6 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.

  • Yes, I can update the package to use a static CDN for hosting the icon.

  • Version 4.6.6 is out of date. Balsamiq only maintains the latest version on their official website. The version referenced in this package was Balsamiq's official repository for archived builds and this is the only consistent source of builds. I am not sure why you received the 404 error. That said...

  • I understand you want to only offer builds using the official website URL. Therefore, we will need to scrap this build. In addition, I will need to adjust the latest build to also use only the official website.

EmpathicSage (maintainer) on 14 May 2023 17:50:51 +00:00:

Here's the proof that this is their official archive:

You mentioned in another package version that you were going to update the iconUrl, but I don't see that this has been done.

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move balsamiqwireframes v4.6.6 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'.

Description

Balsamiq® Wireframes (formerly Balsamiq® Mockups) is the industry-leading rapid wireframing software. By combining the comfort and simplicity of paper sketching with the power of a digital tool, your work is easier to share, modify, and get honest feedback on. Wireframes look like sketches, so stakeholders won't get distracted by little details and can focus on what's important instead. Balsamiq® Wireframes is a commercial application with a fully functional 30 day trial for local files. Afterward, you'll need to buy a license to edit your work. Viewing BMPR files remains accessible even after the trial ends.

Package-Specific Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

* /Register [LICENSE_KEY]: - registers a LICENSE_KEY and quits the application
* /ProxyUser [PROXY_USER_NAME]: - explicitly specifies the proxy username to use for the license verification call
* /ProxyPwd [PROXY_PASSWORD]: - explicitly specifies the proxy password to use for the license verification call
* /Unregister: - unregisters an existing license and quits the application

To pass parameters, use --params "''" (e.g. choco install packageID [other options] --params="'/ITEM:value /ITEM2:value2 /FLAG_BOOLEAN'").
To have choco remember parameters on upgrade, be sure to set choco feature enable -n=useRememberedArgumentsForUpgrades.

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).
