Yeah, you can commit, but you can't create a package via the web interface. And with SVN, it's not allowing to modify the /tags directory to create one manually.
Work around: Using TortoiseSVN (and repo type SVN, of course).
1) Commit changes.
2) Explore repository (Repo-browser)
3) Right click "trunk"
4) Click "Copy to..."
5) Change the last folder, "trunk", to "tags" followed by the new tag name. Should look like this, "svn://<username>@svn.curseforge.net/<game ID>/<package name>/mainline/tags/<tag name>".
Side note: You can create an empty directory in the tags folder, but as soon as the packager sees it (almost immediate), you can no longer copy files into it. It's obviously not the packager that is malfunctioning, it seems to be the interface between web and repo that is malfunctioning.
http://www.wowace.com/packager/ shows the packager as down. Sure you can still create tags but unless the packager really is still working then it won't get packaged for you until the packager comes back online.

I was able once to tag in a similar way my version 0.0.0.4a (using Eclipse, SVN plugin Copy to.. and then commit to server). Since that time I'm not able anymore to tag in this way my repository.
From Eclipse I get:
Some of selected resources were not committed.
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: 'pre-commit' hook failed with error output:
Refusing change of type 'D ' to tags/0.0.0.4a beta (frFR)/locale/frFR.lua
Tags cannot be changed. Please re-tag under a new name.
But if I update from server or replace my version with latest from head I can't see a tag like the given above, which would verify, that I try to tag two times with the same name.
And of course, tagging using the web STILL
doesn't report any error (instead it tells everything is alright and the repository has changed - which in fact is a lie)
does nothing (if you update local copy, tag should at least be there)
creates no new zip file
Currently it seems to work, if I call tag from Eclipse/SVN, but not always a file is created - no idea why. Also I have no idea, how long this workaround helps ...
It would be great if this feature (tagging your version, creating a zip file according to tag name) would work again.

Actually not true, you will never be able to edit any tag once created. Its not the packager doing it but the repo pre-commit hooks.
Kaelten, ever since this started, I've been unable to modify anything in the mainline/tags directory. I used to be able to remove old tags, but now it tells me "Access is denied".
There's no point in deleting files from a repository. If you think you're being a good samaritan by saving space, you should know that the files don't actually get deleted.
Edit: Also, deleting a tag from the repo doesn't remove the file from the addon's files.
And it doesn't let you create a new tag with the same name. You may be able to create a tag in the repo with the name of a deleted tag but the packager will never package the tag.
All of my projects. I just to be able to just SVN>Delete then commit but now TSVN is telling me I don't have access.
You can't delete individual files inside a tag but you should be able to delete the entire tag.
Yeah, that's what I was doing.
But there's no reason you should be deleting tags.
Eh, if the tags don't ever really go away, then I guess there's no reason to "delete" them, as you say. I was under the impression that deleting the tags removed the stored info on them, therein saving some space. If that's not the case then I guess it really doesn't matter.
The problem is that by not being able to delete them, I also cannot create tags through the TSVN client. I get an "Access Denied" error.
P.S. The reason I was trying to delete them this round was because when the packager came back up, it made all the tags I tried to do before I realized it was actually down. >.<

Can't connect to service, please try again later.
At least you can commit changes and do SVN updates again now, even if you can't push a release.

Well, either way, you have to do it all at once.
It now gets rebooted every day at 3am CST to help improve long term stability.
