#12092 — Question about repositories

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Dear sir or madam,

I am a university Student trying to learn a lot of things about Debian.
I searched all the website about list of repositories but I could only find the link below :
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/debian/ <http://ftp.acc.umu.se/debian/>
Is there only one repository for Debian or are there more ? What are their links?
Is there any security repository or source repositories ? What are their links?
I really need to know this and I’d  be really thankful for your answer.
Best regards

Negin jafari

Hi,

See https://www.debian.org/mirror/list (both sources and binaries)

http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ (both sources and binaries)

There are several possibilities to aproach that, depending on your
needs. I will list two of them:

1. You know which package you are interested in
===============================================

Each package has its own repository. Those are not necessarily
git, although this seems to be the most common option these
days. Note that git wasn't even invented when Debian started!

You'll find the packages via

  https://packages.debian.org/

For example, let's assume you are interested in "emacs25": you
search from the above page and find a couple of hits (in my case
three: one for stretch, one for buster, one for buster-updates.

Let's go with the "buster" one. That would be the URL

  https://packages.debian.org/buster/emacs25

To the right, you see a small pane "Links for emacs25"; below that
there's a section "Debian Resources". Go to the link "developer
information". This leads you to

  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/emacs

There, under the section "general", there's an entry "VCS" [1];
in our case this leads to

  https://salsa.debian.org/rlb/deb-emacs

2. You are looking for something in the sources
===============================================

There is an unified view on all the package sources
at

  https://sources.debian.org/

There you can either search by package name or do a full text
search on the source.

Let's assume you are looking for something called "make_incremental_updates":
you enter that into the corresponding box above and hit "Search Code",
and you are led to

  https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=make_incremental_updates

You'll get the pieces of source code matching that query, listing
packages and other info.

Enjoy

[1] This means "version control system"

As a university student, you might be interested in participating in
Debian through the Google Summer of Code or Outreachy paid mentorship
programs.

https://www.outreachy.org/
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/
https://wiki.debian.org/Outreachy
https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode
https://wiki.debian.org/Mentoring

The intro section on our website might be helpful with understanding Debian:

https://www.debian.org/intro/

Our page of diagrams, in particular the "Understanding Debian"
infographic, will probably also be useful to you for understanding
Debian.

https://wiki.debian.org/Diagrams
http://cfnarede.com.br/infographic-of-debian/
https://github.com/filhocf/infographics/raw/master/debian/infographic_debian.svg

While you are learning about Debian, if you come across unfamiliar
terms, our Glossary may be helpful to you:

https://wiki.debian.org/Glossary

Other folks have already answered your questions, but I'll give
another perspective on them.

> Is there only one repository for Debian or are there more ? What are their links?

There is one main repository that contains most of our packages, split
up into 3 components (main, contrib, non-free) and multiple releases
(experimental, unstable, testing, stable, oldstable). In addition to
our main repository, we split out debug symbols packages into a
separate repository, we have a separate repository for security
updates and we have a separate repository for unofficial ports. All
these repositories are available from the Debian package CDN. The main
repository is also synced to many mirror servers and the unofficial
ports are synced to a couple of mirrors.

https://www.debian.org/releases/
https://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages
https://www.debian.org/security/
https://www.debian.org/ports/
https://www.ports.debian.org/
https://deb.debian.org/
https://www.debian.org/mirror/
https://www.ports.debian.org/mirrors

> Is there any security repository or source repositories ? What are their links?

In addition to the security/source repositories already linked by
others, we have a database of security information, where you can look
up security issues by CVE number, Debian source package name or Debian
release name.

https://security-tracker.debian.org/

The Debian package tracker service might also be useful to you:
