There is a web interface, hosted at http://sources.debian.net, that allows you to *browse* the source code of any package. You can also use the API to retrieve different files or search for them. To download the source of a package on your PC, you can use "apt source ". I don't know the best way to download all the source packages by once, but be aware it will take a lot of network traffic and disk space. Let me know your use-case and I'll see how I can help. :) Cheers, -- Matthieu

Does this have to > be explicitly requested for that package? No, sources.debian.net/patches is not aware of any VCS. It parses on the fly the series and the patches of a package (and only for 3.0 (quilt) presently). Still, this allows having URLs to point upstream to, for released packages.

I thought I had to mention this tool: https://rgeissert.blogspot.fr/2015/08/updates-to-sourcesdebiannet-editor.html It's similar to what github offers with its web-based editor, except it will produce a patch ready to be emailed, instead of a pull request (also, it handles editing multiple files). There's probably a lot to do to improve this tool, but might be a good start for people wanting to fix typos and small glitches from their browser. Cheers, -- Matthieu
