msys2.install 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.

  • This package uses a helper function that requires administrative permissions, the tag 'admin' should also be in the nuspec. More...
    • NOTE: This may become a requirement at some point.
  • 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...
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.

  • 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.

Hello,

Can you help me understand how this package is related to this one:

https://chocolatey.org/packages/msys2

Is it a duplicate?

Gary

galeksandrp (maintainer) on 07 Nov 2016 23:38:31 +00:00:

This is an *.install version of package you mentioned, with qt-ifw based installer which adds msys2 to Programs and Features and create shortcuts in Start Menu.

gep13 (reviewer) on 08 Nov 2016 07:22:27 +00:00:

Does that suggest that the other package, as it currently stands is a .portable version of msys2? If so, are you working with the maintainer of the other package to convert the msys2 package into a meta package that will either take a dependency on the .install or .portable package?

gep13 (reviewer) on 19 Dec 2016 20:47:26 +00:00:

Going to leave this package with you, let me know when you are ready for me to take a look again.

Thanks

Gary

We've found msys2.install v2016.10.25 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.

galeksandrp (maintainer) on 10 Jan 2017 13:24:22 +00:00:

Hope this package is ready.

espoelstra (reviewer) on 22 Feb 2017 17:50:13 +00:00:

Galeksandrp, were there any changes from your package due to the pull request to the original msys2 maintainer's package? I'm not sure if we're waiting for userzimmerman to push a new package version or if this is equivalent and you will push the "empty" meta package for msys2 pointing to this one and move that one over to msys2.portable?

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.

Description

MSYS2 is an independent rewrite of MSYS, based on modern Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) and MinGW-w64 with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software.

The name is a contraction of Minimal SYStem 2, and aims to provide support to facilitate using the bash shell, Autotools, revision control systems and the like for building native Windows applications using MinGW-w64 toolchains.

We wanted a package management system to provide easy installation of packages, and ported Arch Linux's Pacman. This brings many powerful features such as dependency resolution and simple complete system upgrades, as well as providing the build system - makepkg{,-mingw} - which is used to make these packages.

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.
