Migration to Coverity Scan 5.5


We are migrating Coverity Scan 4.5 to 5.5. with lots of new features, improved Static Analyzer, simplified User Interface, new filters to compare the snapshot data etc.
At the same time, we also have changes in the process to submit the build to Coverity Scan for Open Source Projects.

0. With the new version, there are three steps to analyze a codebase: build, analyze, and commit.
1. You do the build step, then tar up the intermediate representation and stick it somewhere we can get it by http.
2. Our scripts wget it, analyze it, commit it to the DB and send you an email.

Instructions and build tools are here:
http://scan.coverity.com/self-build/

(Our recent experience has been that pretty much everybody builds on Linux; if you need something else, assuming we support it there will be a short delay while we build a tools package for your platform.)

We'll start out cranking through the process by hand so we can make sure there are no problems in the build and fix any we find, so once you've built and tarred up an intermediate directory, email it to scan-admin@coverity.com with a URL to it, and we'll take it from there.

This process can be automated as a part of the build as well, and many Open Source projects have incorporated as an automated process.

Your project and related defects has already been migrated or in the process of migration. Those defects can be viewed under new Coverity Scan 5.5 at http://scan5.coverity.com:8080. Your username is same as it was earlier, that is, first part of your email address.

Update your bookmark to new Coverity Scan 5.5 link http://scan5.coverity.com:8080.
Please follow the above process for any new build that you want to analyze with Coverity Scan.



Please email scan-admin@coverity.com if you have any trouble with or questions about the build process or question about migration.
