Oh, yes. We are aware of that. Let me explain. Currently we have four publicly available suites: "Antiguo" (Old-Stable), currently Canaima 2.1 (codename 'aponwao'), lenny-based. "Estable" (Stable), currently Canaima 3.0 (codename 'roraima'), squeeze-based. "Pruebas" (Testing), currently Canaima 3.1 (codename 'auyantepui'), squeeze-based. "Desarrollo" (Development), currently empty (probably Canaima 3.2 or 4.0, depending on wheezy freeze). We started shipping deb-src with Canaima 3.1, so previous releases didn't have them. Nonetheless, we always keep available our source code in our VCS[1]. We are going to rebuild source packages for 2.1 and 3.0 releases so that all sources for all suites are available, but this is going to take some time as we are a relatively little developer team[2] currently focused on releasing Canaima 3.1. -- [1]http://gitorious.org/canaima-gnu-linux [2]http://wiki.canaima.softwarelibre.gob.ve/wiki/Mantenedores_de_Canaima_Popular -- > >> I was wondering how to get Canaima listed on the "children-distros" >> page[2] on Debian's main portal. > > This is a discussion that has been pending with the Debian website > team for a while.
