I have put together a script that updates all of the code and content from source control and then builds it. The final piece of the puzzle is the packaging/deployment part.

I want to build packages just like I can in the editor - but I want to do that from the commandline. I can see that there is a “Cook” commandlet for cooking content - but there’s no matching “Package” commandlet.

How do I do this?
