In the release tarball under the roundup directory I also have the files:

.#hyperdb.py.1.87
.#instance.py.1.9
.#roundupdb.py.1.86

These are probably left over from a merge/update under cvs. I don't know
why they are making it into the distribution, but they are a waste of
space and cause noise ignore lines in a cvs import.

I would suggest doing a release using:

  working_directory> cvs tag release_0_6_2
  working_directory> cd ..
  parent_dir> cvs export -r release_0_6_2 -d release-0.6.2 roundup
  parent_dir> cd release-0.6.2
  release-0.6.2>       __do tests, verify code is correct.__
  release-0.6.2> cd ..;rm -rf release-0.6.2
  parent_dir> cvs export -r release_0_6_2 -d roundup-0.6.2 roundup
  parent_dir> tar -czvf roundup-0.6.2.tgz roundup-0.6.2

this should clean up the cruft that is left in a build/working cvs tree and
since the export is done using the tag, it makes sure that you have properly
tagged the files in the release.
