What comes in my mind, that they offered there Service to Wine to use it as an Advertisement like: "Coverity detected >800 Errors in Wine and all where fixed in less than 2 Month" We started to fix them, but the fixing-Rate went down near to Zero very fast. To remember, the Announcement from Ben Chelf was on 07. April 2006: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-April/046354.html The first Day, we fixed 31 Defects ( http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2006-April/046433.html ), but the total Results are not so good: We marked 74 Defects as RESOLVED, 78 Entries are Verified and 344 are still Uninspected or Pending. (Overview at http://scan.coverity.com ) You must also think, that every Run is visible with annotated source. This cost them a lot of GB HD-Space, that is always online for us. > I've tried to contact Coverity for > the last month and my last email (where I've requested a read-receipt, > shame on me) was deleted without being read. IMHO, they did not see enough benefit for there investigation in Wine. Simple: We do not pay, they stopped.... BUG-Hunting is not a fun thing, but Alexandre can open bug-hunting Weeks, similar to the feature-freeze before wine-0.9. This can target the Bugs found by Coverity and Smatch with Priority. Seems to be a nice theme for Wineconf (Sorry, I'm not there). -- By by ... Detlef
