[Bug-wget] Static analysis of source before new release

[Tomas Hozza]

Hello.

As you already mentioned that you plan to release
a new version of wget in the near future, I would
like to ask you if you would be interested in scanning
the source for possible errors with Coverity (static
analysis tool).

We at Red Hat scan a lot of open-source projects regularly,
review scan logs and if possible also write patches
and share them with upstream project to get them fixed.
I as a wget maintainer in Fedora have in TODO to scan
wget and review the full scan. However I think in this
situation it would be beneficial to scan the wget source
before it is released and share the log with you so some
serious errors (if found) can be fixed before release.

If you would be interested in scanning wget before release
it would be enough to share with me some testing tarball with
source you would like to scan. Or I can clone some git repository
branch once you tell me it contains the version you would like
to scan.

Coverity itself also provides scanning for free for open-source
project. If you would be interested in that you can find
some information on Coverity page http://scan.coverity.com/.
