[python-win32] Incomplete ZIP source files at sourceforge.net

[Ulrich Berning]

Hi,

can anybody tell me, why the ZIP source archives at sourceforge.net are 
always absolutely incomplete and do not reflect the tagged versions in CVS?
In fact, the ZIP archives are unusable. I always have to checkout from 
CVS using the build number as the revision tag to get a complete and 
usable set of sources.
I thought, it would be no problem to create a complete ZIP archive from 
a commited tagged CVS revision (just checkout, remove the CVS 
subdirectories and the .cvsignore files and create a ZIP archive 
contining the complete pywin32 directory), but the rules for the ZIP 
archive seem to be more complicated (or random?) and change from build 
to build.
I have no problem using the CVS sources, but I think providing an 
incomplete source archive at sourceforge is absolutely useless.

By the way, am I the only one that tries to build the win32 extensions 
from source, and if not, do all others always use the sources from CVS?
