Yes, the repo available now at http://www.chevna.com/chevna .
Only the binary packages are there. The deb source is on the way as 
there was some problem using apt-move (apt-move does not recognized the 
ubuntu component: multiverse, universe, restricted). So we just added 
those component into apt-move and will begin uploading all the sources.

We stick to the Ubuntu mainstream. Chevna is a distro using the stable 
Ubuntu edgy + feisty (only a selected core packages such as kernel, KDE, 
OpenOffice, Firefox and some others). The sources.list is still using 
the mainstream Ubuntu plus Chevna's deb repository. Also a pre added 
repository from medibuntu, beryl, bmp, skype, opera, automatix, upstream 
wine and google picasa.

This distro is not based on Ubuntu's future version and released date. 
For example, user who use 1.0, when Chevna has release version 2.0 and 
3.0, they can also upgrade directly from 1.0->3.0. Because not relying 
on Ubuntu's future version, so whenever Ubuntu release a new version, we 
will also sync with them and will provide a choice to users if they want 
to upgrade the whole packages. We are using this method because many 
users always want a latest packages and does not want to do a clean 
installation again when upgrading. We will do a test first before 
announcing to users for the available upgrade choice. If anyone would 
like to make a suggestion regarding this method, please let us know.
