I don't quite understand - I justed wanted to knwo how i can obtain a
*source* tarball from the checked out CVS sources. Packages using
automake have a make dist, which creates a source tarball.

I know you don't use automake. I was just pointing out you miss a IMHO
important feature that automake provides. 

Ad tar -c: It's not as convinient as 'make dist', since you'll have to
do a 'make distclean' before. However, it would be nice to have a
snapshot target like described by Kristian in the other reply to my
mail.

Re: Debian bug 159367

One way would be to use cvs export.  However, we would need to tag
all the files in CVS with a tag each time you wanted to create a 
snapshot.  Not necessarily bad, but annoying.

Another would be to the following patch to Makefile.in and
 run configure  again to regenerate the Makefile.  
Then just say "make snapshot"

===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/zinf/zinf/Makefile.in,v
retrieving revision 1.3
diff -c -r1.3 Makefile.in
*** Makefile.in	25 Jun 2002 23:53:49 -0000	1.3
--- Makefile.in	5 Sep 2002 22:35:41 -0000
***************
*** 133,138 ****
--- 133,146 ----
  	-rm -f config.status Makefile config.cache config/config.h
  	-rm -f Makefile.header Makefile-plugins

+ 
+ snapshot: clean
+ 	-rm -f config.status config.cache config/config.h
+ 	(cd ..; tar -c -z -f zinf-snapshot-`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`.tgz zinf
--exclude=CVS )
+

I already thought about that... I just was thinking of an easier way
(without re-downloading the same stuff). Do you really have to tag
every time anybody does a CVS export?
