- Is the package named appropriately?
- Is the title appropriate?
- Does it have all the links? ProjectUrl at the very least.
- Is the description sufficient to explain the software?
- Are the authors pointed to the actual authors and not the package maintainers?
- Does the package look generally safe for consumption?
- Are links in the package to download software using the appropriate location?
- Does the package generally meet the guidelines set forth?
- Does the install and uninstall scripts make sense or are there variables being used that don't work?
- Does the package actually work?
Bonus points (for now):
- Are the authors using checksums?
I think that this is a good start!
What exactly are you referring to with the checksums? If we want to support this, do we need to add a checksum value somewhere? Is there information somewhere about this?
