This we don't do. We don't remove the CVS files in the "normal"
packages. In the Fedora packages, I have done this. I was a decision
some time ago, that we include CVS that people can use CVS to update
eGroupWare. 

When you need a special tar.gz without CVS, tell me this and I will do
it for you.

This is in the howto described. We can change it, but we don't know
under what user the server run. In my installations, the "other" have no
rights, for nothing on this package.  

I will do it for the tar, bz2 and zip files

We unpack it under egroupware. When we unpack it under
egroupware-0.99.0.x , the people must change the setup files after
update  eGW.
