> Service description
> ===================
>
> Debsources is a web service that exposes the content of Debian source
> packages on the Web, both via an HTML user interface and a JSON API
> [0]. To that end, an updater runs regularly (currently 4 times a day)
> to unpack and index new packages from all the available Debian
> suites. It also runs various plugins, for example to count lines of
> code and measure the size of packages; this information is exposed in
> the interface.

> [0]: https://sources.debian.org/doc/api/
>
> Since all extracted information is stored in a PostgreSQL database,
> various data warehouse features are available, such as the list of
> file duplicates for every file, or package name search.
>
>
> More than source code
> =====================
>
> Worth noting are two "sub-apps" that run on the same infrastructure:
>
> * patches [1]: for packages using 3.0 (quilt) package format, the list
>   of patches is extracted and exposed, along with some metadata.
>
> * copyright [2]: the copyright files of packages are exposed through
>   this interface, and displayed in a convenient way if they are
>   machine readable.

> [1]: https://sources.debian.org/patches/
> [2]: https://sources.debian.org/copyright/

> Debsources has been described extensively and used to conduct various
> studies on the Debian source code. To learn more check out the paper:

> Dataset: Two Decades of Free and Open Source Software. In Empirical
> Software Engineering, Volume 22, pp. 1405-1437, June, 2017

> An open access preprint of the paper and additional information about

> =======
>
> Many credits go to everyone who submitted patches and feedback over
> the years, thank you! In particular, Stefano Zacchiroli started the
> project and wrote the updater infrastructure, and Orestis Ioannou
> developed the patches/ and copyright/ apps.
>
> This new instance of the service is hosted by DSA - without whom
> sources.debian.org would not exist. Many thanks to the whole team for
> their guidance in the d.n -> d.o migration, and in particular to
> Julien Cristau and Peter Palfrader.
>
> The previous instance of Debsources had been hosted by IRILL [4] for
> more than 4 years, who has also spearheaded the initial development of
> the service - thanks for the non-interrupted service!
