Coverity has evaluated software quality of different open source
projects.  They had
released their report on March 6th.  Their tool, Coverity Prevent (does static
analysis of source code) was used to determine software quality.

Amanda was the worst performer in their report in terms of number of
defects found per
1000 lines of source code (108 defects found).  Today, Amanda has zero defects
according to their tool.  All the changes are part of 2.5.0 source
tree and will be
part of 2.5.0 release.

Thanks to everyone who analyzed the defects and addressed them.   We hope to
maintain the zero Coverity defect count.

Please see http://scan.coverity.com for current results and progress.

Thanks,
Paddy
