Ok guys,

the dist_plone.py is now able to create tarballs.

A. default mode is just to download stuff.
~   "python2.3 dist_plone.py"

B. build plone core tarball
~   "python2.3 dist_plone.py --build --core"

C. build plone tarball
~   "python2.3 dist_plone.py --build"

Any of these also take a --dest parameter which can be used to specify
the location where to put the result files.

Another parameter --target can be used to specify the platform (from
platforms subdirectory) which is used. It defaults to independent which
shall be used to build the plone standard source distributions. More
platform files can be added now to add the required stuff in addition to
the stuff from independent. If a target other than independent is
choosen it is also added to the filename of the tarball.

Let me bring up an additional thing i just noticed .. lots of the
tarballs the script gets are rather bad releases. They contain lots of
temporary files, wrong file permissions and user/group informations.
This shouldnt be like that but it is unfortunately.

So .. to solve this dilemma i propose the following to be done in the
dist_plone.py script:
~  1. remove all "CVS" folders
~  2. remove all "SVN" folders
~  3. remove all refresh.txt files
~  4. remove all .cvsignore files
~  5. remove all .#* files
~  6. chmod 755 on all folders
~  7. chmod 644 on all files
The problem is that doing this will _break_ at least windows
compatibility, so it will only be enabled on posix. That means that the
script _has_ to be used on posix to create the official plone tarballs.

Thoughts?
