I think the nightly tarballs would suffice. Can this be done for the
Addons directories too?

Michael,
A number of projects run cronjobs on download.osgeo.org to prepare
night
SVN snapshots. Would this satisfy the need you see? I can work
with anyone
interested in setting this up.
I think that a 'download tarball' button would be nice, as this
allows to download a tarball of just any directory you want.

This seems to be implemented in Trac, but needs to be configured
via the 'downloadable_paths' variable. See http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracIni#svn

Moritz,
I reviewed this and it appears this just gives the one-file-at-a-time
downloading option. It does not appear to allow downloading
directories
and directory trees as a tarball.
But it's obviously also a question of resource usage this might
imply for the osgeo server.
We do disallow robots into many parts of Trac to avoid big downloads.
We used to have a lot of problems with google and other robots
requesting
huge version diffs (ie. between r1 and r20000 on /trunk!) during their
scans. In many cases this produced multi-gigabyte diffs and would
crash
the main server.
Beyond that it isn't such an issue. But given that Trac does not seem
to provide the desired service, I think we are back to preparing
nightly tarballs.
Best regards,
