You mean that you've deleted the package.rpm but still have the rpm installed and you want to somehow recreate the package.rpm? No, not really but you could always just tar cvp $(rpm -ql package) > /tmp/package.tar -- -ckm

There is no rpm function to do that. RPMs are built according to the instructions in a .spec file. The spec file contains a list of the "pristine" sources from the developer along with any patch files to apply to the source. Once the spec file is prepared, rpm can build a source or binary package. You can find out which files were installed with a packages by doing: rpm -ql <package-name> But to really build the identical package (which also includes install and uninstall scripts), you need to start with the source rpm (often .spm files in SuSE).
