Where can I find the source code for the latest Ubuntu release? Also, how would I view the code? Would it just be lots of .cpp and .h files I could view in Visual Studio?

Thanks, was i right going for the dists subfolder? At this point i was presented with a massive number of sub-folders? Are each of these part of the OS?

The source code for ubuntu is divided up by package — from a running ubuntu system you can easily retreive the source for any package by doing:

apt-get source (package name) 

Otherwise, go to launchpad, and search up the package in question. For example, here’s the download page for the source code for a specific version of curl: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/7.21.2-4ubuntu1

That said, it’s a lot easier if you’re on a Linux system already — the package sources are divided into an original source tarball plus ubuntu patches, so if you don’t use apt-get source , you’ll need to manually apply the patch to the source code. And new-style packages are even divided into multiple packages.

What’s more, the packages are generally not designed to be cross-compiled from a non-Linux system. Even if you download them and open them in VS, you won’t be able to build them from a Windows system.

Finally, note that not everything is in C and C++ — there are packages in just about any language you can imagine. But I suppose most of them could be opened in VS as text files 🙂

Note: If you really, really want all of it, and I can’t stress enough how silly it would be to download everything just to start learning about the system, you can use the debmirror tool, available in ubuntu, to do this:

debmirror -a none \ --source \ -s main \ -d lucid,lucid-security,lucid-updates \ -r /ubuntu \ --progress \ -e http \ -h archive.ubuntu.com \ ## or other ubuntu archive mirror destpath 

This will be an absolutely huge download. Have several tens of GBs of space available. Note that this downloads only core packages — replace -s main with -s main,universe,multiverse,restricted to get everything.

Once you have the package files, you can extract the source by running dpkg-source -x on a .dsc file of interest.

Thread: Ubuntu source code (web browsable)?

Ubuntu source code (web browsable)?

Is there a convenient and official place for browsing the whole Ubuntu source trees in one place? I’m speaking of something like gitweb or websvn interface, for looking at the history and current versions of files.

Hi again . shameless bump! Someone must know where the source code is found easily!

Re: Ubuntu source code (web browsable)?

Don’t believe you can do that since there isn’t one big source that is the final result, the final release of an ubuntu version is basically just 10’s of thousands of packages all frozen in time, this should be shown in launchpad depending on the package.

Lucid (10.04) virtualbox-ose Version: 3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1~lucid1

Karmic (9.10) virtualbox-ose 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1.1

Getting the source for the packages your looking for depends on which package it was and how they get merged into ubuntu, some projects host their code on launchpad, some on github, some elsewhere.

README

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
