I can't find the 5.8 groovy kernel git at

https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/

Have the maintainers moved it anywhere? How can I find the kernel source git?

On my 20.10 test VM I see the following:

$ apt-get source linux-headers-`uname -r`
Reading package lists... Done
Picking 'linux' as source package instead of 'linux-headers-5.8.0-25-generic'
NOTICE: 'linux' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at:
git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/groovy
Please use:
git clone git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/groovy
to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package.
Need to get 182 MB of source archives.
Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy/main linux 5.8.0-25.26...

So it says that ubuntu kernel sources are located at git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/groovy.

Other way to find the sources - is to use search on https://packages.ubuntu.com and go to linux-meta package page.

So you can browse it at

https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/groovy

    I was asking where I could browse the code. You gave a perfect hint. They moved it.
