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.

WARNING

This package was rejected on 24 Jan 2016. The reviewer ferventcoder has listed the following reason(s):

CDuv has addressed the problems from the other package, but I have a small problem with the uninstall script. The WMI option seems to have some performance problems and requires elevated permissions.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/chocolatey/Get-WmiObject%7Csort:relevance/chocolatey/aQAAh21a6uM/vEzbX1OSrXQJ

There's another option that uses the Uninstall-ChocolateyPackage helper and the ProductCode available in all MSIs.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/chocolatey/Q92AQ3DxoTs

You can inspect an MSI with an authoring tool like InstEd (https://chocolatey.org/packages/insted). The product code for this package is {9A40D2F8-9458-458B-95E3-B57797C574E1}.

Also, try-catch blocks unnecessary in the latest Chocolatey.


Same as for https://chocolatey.org/packages/pdfsam/2.2.4

pdfsam.install has passed testing.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/06430a3c7ca59bf5ced4 for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 20 Dec 2015 10:40:12 +00:00:

pdfsam.install has passed automated validation.
NOTICE: We are permanently fixing our backlog issues and we want to apologize that it has taken so long - please see http://goo.gl/aYqJy0.

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 becomes a Requirement starting on 1 February 2016.
  • Package contains dependencies with no specified version. You should at least specify a minimum version of a dependency. More...
  • The nuspec has been enhanced to allow packageSourceUrl, pointing to the url where the package source resides. This is a strong guideline because it simplifies collaboration. Please add it to the nuspec. More...
  • 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...
  • 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
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.

  • Installation Scripts should avoid using Get-WmiObject for finding software install information. More...
  • The nuspec has been enhanced to allow more information related to the software. More... Please consider adding one or more of the following to the nuspec, if available:
    • docsUrl - points to the location of the wiki or docs of the software
    • mailingListUrl - points to the forum or email list group for the software
    • bugTrackerUrl - points to the location where issues and tickets can be accessed
    • projectSourceUrl - points to the location of the underlying software source

ping - what do you want to do with this older version?

CDuv (maintainer) on 23 Jan 2016 23:48:07 +00:00:

I have no plan of updating it, people in need of v2 can go with 2.2.2.
Should I reject it to clear the moderation queue?
