i type:

% svn export http://apache/foo
% tar czvf  foo apache-foo-src.tar.gz
% zip -R  foo apache-foo-src.tar.gz

automatics have a long history of not quite working. maven 2 now works
but it was a long struggle...

a lot of stuff which IMHO isn't needed

then creates source and binary distributions in dist/product/downloads

i prefer just to create binary distributions directly in dist and
create source distributions by hand
