WARNING

This package was rejected on 18 Aug 2022. The reviewer chocolatey-ops has listed the following reason(s):

costello (maintainer) on 25 Jun 2022 12:06:42 +00:00:

User 'costello' (maintainer) submitted package.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 25 Jun 2022 12:42:42 +00:00:

classified-ads 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...
  • Write-ChocolateySuccess/Write-ChocolateyFailure have been deprecated, but have been found in the package's automation scripts. Remove the usage of those two functions. If there is an error, throw the error. More... This can also give a false positive for commented code with the words:
    • Write-ChocolateySuccess
    • Write-ChocolateyFailure
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...

classified-ads has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/a44636090c5fbbfc4274df86c651627b for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 25 Jun 2022 13:12:10 +00:00:

classified-ads has been flagged as part of automated virus scanning.
Package virus scanning found that at least 1 file within, or downloaded by, the package has between 6 and 10 VirusTotal detections associated with it
This package version cannot be approved without an exemption from a Moderator.

TheCakeIsNaOH (reviewer) on 14 Jul 2022 13:02:11 +00:00:

Hi, there are some items that should be addressed:

  • Are you the author of this software? If you are, please confirm with a comment here. If you are not, can you please put your Chocolatey username in the owners field in the nuspec and the software author's name in the authors field.
  • The count of Virustotal positives was flagged, is the a reason for the high positive count?

Regards, TheCakeIsNaOH

We've found classified-ads v0.15.1 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.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 18 Aug 2022 13:06:19 +00:00:

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move classified-ads v0.15.1 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

Classified ads is a distributed internet messaging system that requires no server-side support of any kind. It allows users to post public and private messages, display basic details about themselves and do searches over data posted online.

In practice it allows you to do about same kind of things that you can do with web-forums and e-mail but here you don't need to deal with any kind of "service provider", here users provide service to each others. This also makes the software reliable as there is no "service that would go down" or cease to exist, leaving users with no correspondence.

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.
