Correct me if wrong, but isn't rolling up a tgz, tbz2, or txz not a matter
of repeating the same actions on a tarball you already have, namely merely
compressing the resulting tarball that you already have. Easy enough to
script/put in a Makefile.

Which only leaves generating hashes/sig files, uploading, and linking it on
the site. All of which can be automated to a high degree.

So what exactly is the big problem here then?
