looking at the output of mage shell script it seems that it is possible to build a module via the command line. Does anyone have and idea how i can do it?
Connect commands available:
===========================
.....
package Build Package
package-dependencies Show package dependencies
package-prepare Show installation information of package
......
Thanks in advance.
Evgeni,
Currently there is no way of packaging an extension directly from the command line, also regarding the ./mage package command

The command names can be misleading the package in particular is designed to be ran on the package.xml which contains a module information, it basically has the opposite effect of what you are trying achieve.
Currently I don't think there is any solution to package extensions directly from the command line, I supposed that you could create a script that does this but it would be hard to specify all the extension files, dependencies and information that is required to generated a valid Connect extension package.
It's necessary to have a prepared package.xml in var/connect folder for your package. After that it's possible to run command
./mage package /absolute/path/to/your/magento/var/connect/package.xml
That command will create tgz package under var/connect.
I'm myself aiming for creating packages with Bamboo CI. It means I need to add package.xml to git and prepare package info in Magento backend (updated version, release notes etc). After that I commit package.xml and push it. Bamboo CI would pick it up and create a package. I can try it out shortly. I'll let you know if it works fine this way.
