I'm attempting to port Kano to run on x86/amd64, but a large number of the core packages have no sources available. I think this is an awesome product, and bought a kit as a gift last Christmas. When I purchased it then, I was excited to read your claim of being open source, and had been planning to set up locally so that I could hack on and play around with it.
Now, to my disappointment, I'm seeing that only around half of the source is actually available. Worse yet, the sources that are missing are the ones for the base system packages that are a dependency of just about everything else to run. If you truly want to be open source, you need to make all of your sources available, otherwise there is no way for you to actually benefit from the community.
Missing binary sources, these are the important ones:
There are also several other packages without a git repo, but they don't contain compiled binaries, so I am able to extract them from their debian packages.
