My development machine normally runs a newer Debian version, having deb-src URLs for Debian LTS in sources.list is possible but not a good option (for me) as it increases latency for apt update. So, I always go to [1] with my web browser, copy the URL of the .dsc file and then dget that .dsc file. However, for the actual CVE tracking work, I browse the security-tracker.debian.org platform. This could be my only web tool to use, if it allowed me to download source packages directly from there. Unfortunately, this is not (yet) possible. On a page like this [2] all package versions of the given package in Debian are listed, so it should be easy to make these version strings clickable hyperrefs that either link to the corresponding page on [1] or even directly to the .dsc file of that version in the package archive (the latter would be my preferred choice). Is that something that would be helpful to others using the security-tracker? What would be the preferred linking target, if so, then? Looking forward to some feedback from Security team members and LTS members. I'd be happy to put some work into this, if liked by others.The PTS does exactly that and the Security already links there. Adding this to the Security would be a duplication of effort and also out of scope. Cheers, Moritz
Ah... I see. I oversaw the PTS links. And there I now found the .dsc URL links.
Nice and sufficient. Thanks, Mike -- DAS-NETZWERKTEAM mike gabriel, herweg 7, 24357 fleckeby mobile: +49 (1520) 1976 148 landline: +49 (4354) 8390 139 GnuPG Fingerprint: 9BFB AEE8 6C0A A5FF BF22 0782 9AF4 6B30 2577 1B31 mail: mike.gabr...@das-netzwerkteam.de, http://das-netzwerkteam.de
