It seems accidentally commiting package binaries is an easy error among new TUs. A simple way to keep this from happening: svn propset svn:ignore '*.pkg.*' .
That would not prevent source tarballs (say foobar-software-1.2.3.tar.gz) from being added to the repo by 'svn add *'.
So, let's just be careful when adding files and never use 'svn add *'. :)
It does not occur often (only twice in the last year) but why not use the tools we have to their fullest.
If it's only happened twice in the period of one year, I'd say it's a non-issue.
I think the better solution is to update the wiki information rather then letting new TUs wander off without someone holding their hand. I think someone needs to step up and update things that a TU should know before doing anything.
