The "/tarball" page:

URL: /tarball/[VERSION/]NAME.tar.gz

Generate a compressed tarball for the check-in specified by VERSION. The tarball is called NAME.tar.gz and has a top-level directory called NAME.

The optional VERSION element defaults to "trunk" per the r= rules below. All of the following URLs are equivalent:

/tarball/release/xyz.tar.gz
/tarball?r=release&name=xyz.tar.gz
/tarball/xyz.tar.gz?r=release
/tarball?name=release/xyz.tar.gz

Query parameters:

name=[CKIN/]NAME

The optional CKIN component of the name= parameter identifies the check-in from which the tarball is constructed. If CKIN is omitted and there is no r= query parameter, then use "trunk". NAME is the name of the download file. The top-level directory in the generated tarball is called by NAME with the file extension removed.

r=TAG

TAG identifies the check-in that is turned into a compressed tarball. The default value is "trunk". If r= is omitted and if the name= query parameter contains one "/" character then the of part the name= value before the / becomes the TAG and the part of the name= value after the / is the download filename. If no check-in is specified by either name= or r=, then "trunk" is used.

in=PATTERN

Only include files that match the comma-separate list of GLOB patterns in PATTERN, as with ex=

ex=PATTERN

Omit any file that match PATTERN. PATTERN is a comma-separated list of GLOB patterns, where each pattern can optionally be quoted using ".." or '..'. Any file matching both ex= and in= is excluded.
