Do you want to create a tarball of the working code, or the repository? If the latter, here's basically the cron script I run:
-------------------- snip snip -------------------- #! /bin/sh cd archives rooturl="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs" /usr/local/bin/wget $rooturl/mailman-cvsroot.tar.gz -------------------- snip snip --------------------
This would be a good thing to do, both as a service to the community, and as a backup should SF ever go away.
