(sorry for not responding to all Qs in the last email)
Some questions regarding this move:
- can you migrate the accounts from linuxbugsdb.coverity.com?
>
I will look into this -- I don't see any reason not to.
- are the comments Linux kernel developers like me did at
linuxbugsdb.coverity.com migrated to scan.coverity.com or was this
wasted work?
That may be a bit more challenging, but again, I'll look into it. The
goal, of course, was not to waste your (or anyone's) work...
Another thing you could give a small clarification about:
Your email sounds as if your offer was like a charity offer from
Coverity, Inc.
OTOH, I remember press rumors of Coverity, Inc getting 297 000 Dollar
for this from the Department of Homeland Security.
I'm sure you are not silently omitting that you are getting public
fundings for what you are offering, but an official statement would be
nice.
Snipped from http://scan.coverity.com:
"In collaboration with Stanford University, Coverity is establishing a
new baseline for software quality and security in open source based on
the analysis of over 30 of the most critical and widely used open source
projects in the world. Under a contract with the Department of Homeland
Security, we apply the latest innovation in automated defect detection
to uncover some of the most critical types of bugs found in software.
We are making the results of our automated analysis available to the
maintainers within the open source community. Additional projects will
be added over time. Through this process, our hope is that the benefits
of the open source model are further accelerated with faster and easier
remediation of defects in open source."
I feared my original email was a bit too long as it stood...apologies if
anyone felt misled.
