Thanks, I see same. Doesn't help, though. What are you typing to get
the source for the particular packages you see?
I mean literally, what is at the end of
$ apt-get source linux-???
I'm typing every conceivable combination of those package names and
still get nothing.
$ apt-get source linux-image-amd64
finds me some downloads, but they are for kernel 2.6.
This one is really frustrating.
$ apt-get source linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Picking 'linux-2.6' as source package instead of 'linux-image-3.2.0-2-amd64'
NOTICE: 'linux-2.6' packaging is maintained in the 'Svn' version
control system at:
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/dists/trunk/linux-2.6/
Need to get 105 MB of source archives.
Get:1 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing/main linux-2.6 3.2.18-1
(dsc) [94.2 kB]
Get:2 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing/main linux-2.6 3.2.18-1
(tar) [98.5 MB]
Is there a way to view which SOURCE packages are available in a Debian system?
On a RedHat style system, I'd go google the SRPM directory and know
what to look for. In Debian, I still can't quite understand where "the
source packages" are.
