Hmm, ok, I thought the balls in src where the distribution files.

Well, in that case: If I want to package, for example, ipfwutils (which
contains not much more than the ipfw binary, a manpage and possibly an
example firewall script) I would take the 5.4RELEASE tag from cvs and
create a tarball from it? And use that as my source tarball?
