When you tag something in CVS, you're tagging the repository rather than the files per se. So yes, you need to be connected to cvs.apache.org. Basically, you need to make sure what you have on your local disk is what you want to tag, and then run the CVS 'tag' command. That will tag the repository. The reason your local files need to be up to date is because the version tagged in the repo is whatever you have locally. You can also use 'cvs rtag' if you want to tag the repo regardless of what you have, but I think most people, myself included, stick with 'cvs tag'. The binary and source distributions come from your local machine. You won't be able to build them on cvs.a.o or www.a.o, since they don't have the JDK available. As far as building and packaging go, you might want to take a look at the 'release' target I added to the main Struts build file. That really helps with putting the binary and source uploads together. For the main Struts release, the most time-consuming part is just testing that everything works with all the supported containers (including all the web apps). I don't know how much you'll need to do for the legacy stuff. Another time-consuming step is signing everything and creating digests. The tagging for the main Struts release will actually be a bit more painful for RC2 since you can't just blanket-tag the Commons packages - they'll have to be tagged individually to match the specific versions we're bundling.
