Recently the Appveyor build is failing with (eg https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zmughal/pdl/build/1.0.449):

Download of strawberry-perl-5.20.1.1-64bit.msi (72.78 MB) completed.
WARNING: Missing package checksums are not allowed (by default for HTTP/FTP, 
 HTTPS when feature 'allowEmptyChecksumsSecure' is disabled) for 
 safety and security reasons. Although we strongly advise against it, 
 if you need this functionality, please set the feature 
 'allowEmptyChecksums' ('choco feature enable -n allowEmptyChecksums')

@zmughal can you offer a pointer? Does this just need extra config?

Ah, so this is actually an issue with https://chocolatey.org/packages/StrawberryPerl. It worked in the past, but the package has not been updated for a long time. We could run the command in that output as a temporary measure (choco feature enable -n allowEmptyChecksums), but the real fix would be to update the Chocolatey package since it is now a little over 2 years behind.

If we did want to create an updated Strawberry Perl package, we can use those checksums like this https://chocolatey.org/docs/helpers-install-chocolatey-package. The checksums are here http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html.

See also https://chocolatey.org/docs/features-create-packages-from-installers, alanstevens/ChocoPackages#73, kvirc/KVIrc#1773, ferventcoder/chocolatey-packages#104.

This should be fixed now with the recent uploads of new choco packages for Strawberry Perl.

Confirming that this is fixed. I re-ran this build and it is working https://ci.appveyor.com/project/zmughal/pdl/build/1.0.454. Thank you for the update @amba!

Closing.
