Submitted application deleted

Post by alexaboz »

Hello!

I'm using wine since I started using Linux.
I was happy to have appdb.winehq.org because it always contained the best informations on how to install what I need.
After three years of using it, I had trouble to install one program, Rosetta Stone. I've used Ubuntu. What worked at the end was installing the newest version of wine and adjusting some options and letting winetricks install some needed apps.
However, I was not sure if I could "repeat" the same process of installing that program again.
So, after few months I switched to LMDE. I had no luck installing Rosetta Stone on it because I couldn't install newest version of wine on LMDE.
Since this program is very important for me, I decided to install Mint (based on Ubuntu) and had luck to install the newest version of wine.
I also managed to install the program and to configure it to work well (perfect, microphone worked, even microphone from USB webcam worked).
I decided for the first time to "return" the community by opening new thread ( or topic) on appdb, so at least people using Mint could know how to install Rosetta Stone very fast (if such information had been available to me, I would have been lucky).
So I submitted app and fullfiled all the forms respecting rules.
After a day, I received this mail: [AppDB] Submitted application deleted

I checked that link - it's not merged, at least I couldn't find the part where my infos are added.
Nevermind, I wanted Linux Mint Qiana (17) to be listed there, because at the time there are only these listed:
Arch Linux x86_64, Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise" i386 (+ variants like Kubuntu), Arch Linux x86_64, Fedora 19 x86_64, Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise" amd64 (+ variants like Kubuntu).
Maybe moderator have found that my informations submitted and my effort were useless.
There's a saying in my country: It comes neither in nor out of my pocket.

Whom should I send my feedback mail, I don't know, so I decided to write it here.
All the best,
Aleksandar

You submitted Rosetta Stone as a new application, when there is already an entry for it. Your test report was moved to queue for the existing entry, and is now there waiting for the maintainer to approve or reject it. Maintainers have 7 days to process test reports; if they fail to do that, the system automatically removes them. Keep in mind that in the case of your report those 7 days started when the report was moved, as the maintainer would not have seen your submission before then.

[AppDB] Submitted test data accepted

I have received this e-mail.

I'm happy that it's accepted.

I'm sorry for misunderstanding. I wasn't familiar with the way the things develop here.

All the best!
