Reinstalling it would be trivial. If it was installed from the AUR you can set a directory in which to store built packages in /etc/makepkg.conf, and then add the directory as a local repository using repo-add.* See the pacman and makepkg man pages and wiki entries for more on that. * Of course if the packages were installed as build dependencies from the AUR, they may need to be rebuilt when the dependent package is updated anyway. -- "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams
