Tarballs are usually created by upstream when making a release.

There are a variety of build system (autotools, CMake, etc) that provide
a standard way to prepare a release tarball: if your upstream uses one
of those, you can usually follow the same steps to create a CVS snapshot,
taking care to choose a sensible version number.

If upstream uses no such standardized build system, they probably have
rolled their own script to prepare a release. Again, use the same steps
to build your snapshot.

So, in short: since it depends a lot on what upstream’s habits are, your
best bet is simply asking them.
