how can i get access to the source for debian packages? specifically, i'm
looking for the source for debian's "dump" package. i thought i send a
note to debian before contacting the author, in case there is a standard
way users can access the source code for the binary deb packages.
try adding:
deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.pandora.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US
main contrib non-free
to your /etc/apt/sources.list change unstable to stable if you are
not using potato.
then you can use apt-get source <package> to download and unpack the
source for any .deb into your current directory. (unless its a non
opensource non-free package)
