Existing Package Details

Package URL: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/lossless-cut
Package source URL: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

Date the maintainer was contacted (in YYYY-MM-DD): 2024-09-10
How the maintainer was contacted: used the discussion forum, where the issue has been discussed for more than two years

The package is not maintained by the developer, mifi, but by someone else, chtof. The maintainer has added a problematic script, which has been discussed for more than two years and is still not fixed. The chocolatey script downloads the 7z archive directly from the github repo, but it also adds chocolateyinstall.ps1 script. In this extra script paths and registry keys are generated, including a big loop over many file extensions/types. These are many, probably hundreds of registry keys, which many consider problematic. The registry keys are also not removed when uninstalling the package. After more then two years it is hard to expect any improvement, thus this RFM request.

This isn't the way to contact maintainers. Please see the package triage process.

I'm going to close this issue. Once you have gone through the package triage process, we can reopen it again if the maintainer has not responded.

[FrisoDB]

Please reopen the issue, as the person is also non-responsive to emails. It is very clear that nothing should be expected from chtof.

[pauby]

@FrisoDB As was mentioned above, the package triage process needs to be followed.

[FrisoDB]

The process has now been followed. Please tell what is missing.

Once the process is complete, please raise an issue.
