Hi all I used to use Coverity Scan occasionally on FreeBSD (https://scan.coverity.com/projects/valgrind-official?tab=overview) The Self-Build tool is no longer available for FreeBSD. The older version still works but the Scan web site rejects builds created with that version. I contacted Coverity support back in August and they confirmed that FreeBSD support has been dropped. My guess is that this is at least in part due to Black Duck being spun off from Synopsys to private equity firms (https://clearlake.com/news/clearlake-and-francisco-partners-complete-acquisition-of-black-duck-software-formerly-known-as-synopsys-software-integrity-group/) FreeBSD itself used to use Coverity. What is it using now instead? clang-tidy? Is there any chance that this might get reversed? Is the Foundation doing anything to try to persuade Black Duck to keep FreeBSD support? A+ Paul
