NOTE

This package is likely a meta/virtual (*) or an installer (*.install) or portable (*.portable) application package.

  • Meta/virtual (*) - has a dependency on the *.install or the *.portable package - it is provided for discoverability and for other packages to take a dependency on.
  • Portable (*.portable/*.commandline (deprecated naming convention)/*.tool (deprecated naming convention)) - usually zips or archives that require no administrative access to install.
  • Install (*.install/*.app (deprecated naming convention)) - uses native installers, usually requires administrative access to install.

Pauby (reviewer) on 16 Feb 2023 18:56:16 +00:00:

Hi, a couple of issues / suggestions / questions:

  1. On line 7 of your chocolateyInsxtall.ps1 you are using a Get-Item to fetch the binary from the package folder. Please use the full name for the file.
  2. Please move the 'uninstall' functionality from your chocolateyInstall.ps1 into a chocolateyBeforeModiy.ps1 that will run upon upgrade and uninstall.
  3. Please add $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' to the top of your chocolateyUIninstall.ps1.
  4. Please add a From: <LICENSE URL> to the top of your LICENSE.txt file.
  5. The x32 link in the VERIFICATION.txt file is not a valid link.

Thanks.

Paul

SebastianK (maintainer) on 17 Feb 2023 23:57:26 +00:00:

Hey Paul,

thanks for the feedback.

  1. I've changed my update.ps1 to replace the FileFullPath always with the latest name in chocolateyInstall.ps1.
  2. I've added a chocolateyBeforeModiy.ps1 file and put the cleanup zip tasks there.
  3. Is also added.
  4. The license URL is in the bottom of the VERIFICATION.txt but I've now also added it to the top of LICENSE.txt
  5. This will be tricky to do, since the version 5.0 is not available anymore, and since my package is still in moderation process I also cannot push 5.0.1 which would have a valid download link for verification.

Thanks!

paint.net.portable 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.

> This will be tricky to do, since the version 5.0 is not available anymore, and since my package is still in moderation process I also cannot push 5.0.1 which would have a valid download link for verification.

I see you removed that link so the package is now x64 only?

There are two options:

  1. We keep the package (not just this version) x64 only. It's not going to be a good user experience if we go back and forth between the package having x86 and x64 versions of the software then only x64.
  2. We reject this version and let you push 5.0.1 which has both x64 and x86 and the links in VERIFICATION.txt will be valid?

Let me know what you want to do.

SebastianK (maintainer) on 18 Feb 2023 22:15:51 +00:00:

Hi Paul,

then please reject this one, so that I can push 5.0.1.
I'll only add the x64 variant then, since the 32-bit support was dropped by the dev.
Thanks!

Pauby (reviewer) on 18 Feb 2023 23:58:16 +00:00:

Rejected at maintainers request.
