That's a nice page!

Any chances of having the filenames + line numbers be actual hyperlinks to the source code, for a convenient closer look?

At the moment Debian doesn't have such service and the web reports are generated directly from the tool's report on a machine other than the one that actually ran the tool, making it impractical.
I'm not even sure if those working on the source.d.o project intended to provide HTML-ised source code (with lxr or the like.)

I do agree that it would be a great feature to have and is even in my long term To-Do list, though.

I'm sure your team knows about this, but the included (at least in the source package) htmlreport will generate in-line source code. I use it to make a full report on LibreOffice's git code every 4-6 hours, for their dev's benefit:

DO NOTE: This is a huge report. Your browser may creak under the strain.

Big thanks to cppcheck! :)

I'm aware of it (and have even used it locally for some projects.) However, like I replied to people who suggested it via email, DACA doesn't consist of only one tool, and all of them would benefit from a service that provides the html-ised source code with anchors and all.
