I mistakedly deleted the openoffice-1.0.2 tarball that was made the with the -b switch. I was wondering if I can recreate the tarball from the installed openoffice files. In /var/db/pkg/app-office/openoffice-1.0.2 there is a description of all the files involved, so I could do it by hand, but maybe there is a command to do this somewhere in portage.

I have checked the portage guide, but didn't find anything. Maybe there is a trick to do this...

Any help appreciated.
