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.
