I think several people would like a trigger which will enable repackaging a package skipping the entire build phase. This way we can add dependencies we missed without having to rebuild the package, for example.

I know I would like that, at least.

Thanks,
Shahar.

I too would like this functionality - it's great for forgotten install scripts etc

Tada!! Add either -k or --skip-build and it'll simply skip the build process, it'll do everything BUT the build process. Here is the patch.

Sorry, my help message was a bit messed up (indented one space to the right compared to the rest), so I fixed that. So use this patch.

Ok, noticed a problem in my patch, it deletes an existing pkg folder if it exists, so I changed it to not do that if -k or --skip-build is called. So first apply that new patch (with the good help message), then this second patch.
