Some Checks Have Failed or Are Not Yet Complete
Not All Tests Have Passed
This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.
- Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
- This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
- You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
- There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.
"Everything Alpha" is the alpha release of an administrative tool that locates files and folders by filename instantly for Windows.
Unlike Windows search "Everything" initially displays every file and folder on your computer (hence the name "Everything").

Despite being Alpha, this release is generally stable and much more feature rich than the standard release

everything-development 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.

everything-development 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 1 and 5 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
This is not enough detections to prevent the approval of this package version.

Hi,
This package is a duplicate of the everything package: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/everything#files
Prerelease versions should generally be added to the original package, instead of going on a different package ID.

linycv (maintainer) on 07 May 2025 04:43:40 +00:00:
based on the comments of the maintainer of the community package, it was recommended to create a separate package
https://github.com/orgs/chocolatey-community/discussions/2289#discussioncomment-6857174
to add to the original package, how would i go about doing that?
readme on github says mod aren't likely to accept new pr: https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages
I'm guessing I have to add something to everything's AU: https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-packages/blob/master/automatic/everything/update.ps1
but there's no clear instruction on how to use AU, choco docs point to and archived wiki which does not explain any of the functions using in everything's AU
the uninstall script for 1.5a also needs to be different from 1.4
TheCakeIsNaOH (reviewer) on 07 May 2025 23:20:39 +00:00:
Ah, in that case, this package would be fine.
As for the link to the archived wiki, I believe that was moved over from
AU
toChocolatey-AU
. Can you open an issue on the chocolatey/docs github repository to get that link updated?If you are missing docs on how to use AU, I would suggest opening an issue at the point where you want to help, but can't find docs or the docs are insuffeient/unclear for you. It may be solved with a link to where the docs are.
As for this package, there are some items that should be addressed:
Install-ChocolateyPackage
call? It makes it a lot easier to check.Regards, TheCakeIsNaOH
