WARNING

This package was rejected on 09 Jul 2020. The reviewer tunisiano has listed the following reason(s):

chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 27 Jun 2020 19:12:04 +00:00:

remove-empty-directory 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.

  • 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 add an exception for the verifier as it require dotnetfx ?
For this package, i didn't found another link to the exe file than sourceforge.
This package is the same as removeemptydirectory, but the name as been changed as requested.

Have a nice day

Pauby (reviewer) on 01 Jul 2020 11:30:41 +00:00:

Hi,

I cannot get this to install in the Chocolatey test environment (after multiple reboots). While installing the software it pops up a box saying .NET 3.5 feature could not be installed (unfortunately I can't attach a screenshot here).

Hope that helps.

tunisiano (maintainer) on 01 Jul 2020 18:30:44 +00:00:

Yes that helps a lot... i need to wake up before pushing... i've made the depedency for 4.5 instead of 3.5... My bad,
Sorry, pushed the new one

Thank you

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.
