See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade quollwriter -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0

End-user license agreement: for the Quoll Writer software written by Gary Bentley
You may install/use Quoll Writer on any machine you have access to.
No Warranties
I'm sorry but I cannot provide any warranty for the use of Quoll Writer.
It is (and any related documentation) provided "as is" without warranty
of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation,
the implied warranties or merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose or noninfringement.
My apologies for the legalese but it is important, I have to cover myself
and I cannot be held responsible for you using Quoll Writer. I have done
my best to ensure that it is bug free and works as intended and will not
corrupt your work but I cannot and will not guarantee it. You use Quoll
Writer at your own risk and I recommend that you create a test project to
try it out first to ensure that you are happy that it fits your needs.
That said, if you are having problems with one of your projects within
Quoll Writer then contact me as soon as possible and I will do my best to
help resolve the issue.
Please back up your work
By using Quoll Writer you are agreeing that you will keep adequate backups
of your work (produced via Quoll Writer) and that the backups will be kept
in a secure location that is suitable for storage of digital information.
Again, I cannot be held responsible if you lose your work, backups are a
necessary evil that helps to ensure that your time and effort are not
wasted. Please do not use Quoll Writer if you ARE NOT doing regular
backups. Please do not keep just a single copy of your work on disk, if you
have a power cut and the Quoll Writer project database becomes corrupted
then it may not be possible to retrieve it.
PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!
I also recommend that you use a secure online backup service to ensure
redundancy. Personally I use http://www.mozy.com, they’re cheap, reliable
and it just works but there are many others.
If you like Quoll Writer then tell other writers
If you like Quoll Writer and it fits your needs then I would ask that you
tell other writers you know about it. If you do not like Quoll Writer then
I would ask that you are fair in your criticisms when you complain to
others about it.
Let me know about bugs and your desire for new features
I am constantly looking to improve upon Quoll Writer, I wrote it because I
like to write and I am interested in the opinions of other writers about
what they would like to see in a writing application. I am also interested
in ensuring that it is bug free and I would ask that you report any issues
you have, and when you do so, please provide as much information as you can
including screenshots where appropriate. The more information I have, the
easier bugs are to fix.
Do not lose your encryption password(s)
If you elect to encrypt your project(s) then please DO NOT lose your
password. It is not stored ANYWHERE and so if you lose it/forget it then
you WILL NOT be able to access your project (regardless of whether you
have backups) either via Quoll Writer or by using a db access mechanism
such as the H2 console. The encryption used
(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard ) is very
strong and unless you are the NSA it won't be broken, so do not lose your
password or you will lose your work.
