Thanks for these guidelines. I have a few questions:
- when you say "provide this", "do not include that", ... do you speak 
of the project CVS repository, or of "packages" built from this 
repository (in the sense of sourceforge packages)?
- if you speak of packages built from the CVS, is it ok to include 
external jars in the CVS, but not in the source package?
- what about tests, examples and documentation? They are all in the 
CVS, but they can be included in the source package, or in separate 
packages. What is preferred? And how should be handled the jar files 
that are not needed to build or run the application/library itself, 
but that are needed to run the tests or the examples?
- is it a good idea to include ant tasks to build debian or rpm 
packages, in addition to the source package, in the CVS? Or do you 
prefer to keep the developper and packager roles fully separated?
