Hi,

IMO using a PKGBUILD from ABS and changing options by the PKGBUILD or a
config is the easiest way to go. Compiling without building a package
could lead to issues. Could the package be removed or does it require
to at least build a dummy package, to resolve dependencies? Or, if a
user keeps a package, will installing without a package overwrite the
files provided by the package, or will it become a mess of manually
installed files and files installed by the package? The best approach
seems to be, to rebuild the package with the required options and then
to replace the installed package by the new package. FWIW everybody
could edit the Wiki ;).

Regards,
Ralf
