Debsources is a
web application for publishing, browsing and searching an unpacked Debian source
mirror on the Web. With Debsources, all the source code of every Debian
release is available in https://sources.debian.org,
both via an HTML user interface
and a JSON API.
This service was first offered in 2013 with the sources.debian.net instance,
which was kindly hosted by IRILL, and is now becoming
official under sources.debian.org, hosted on the Debian infrastructure.
This new instance offers all the features of the old one (an updater that runs four
times a day, various plugins to count lines of code or measure the size of packages,
and sub-apps to show lists of patches and copyright files), plus integration
with other Debian services such as codesearch.debian.net
and the PTS.
The Debsources Team has taken the opportunity of this move of Debsources onto
the Debian infrastructure to officially announce the service.
