+I was also thinking about doing a script to automate creating tarballs
+from svn/git repository for Mageia software (and can be extended to
+other software maybe). Instead of adding rules in all makefiles to
+generate tarballs. So you could retrieve mgarepo with this command :
+ $ get-tarball mgarepo 1.9.8
+And it creates mgarepo-1.9.8.tar.bz2
+
+And we could use it to automate sending of tarballs on the mirror.
