使用 Delphi，我是否需要卸载、构建、安装安装后源代码已更改的包？

Question

I am currently uninstalling the ".bpl" component package, changing to source code, building it and installing it.

I'm thinking I'm doing it the logical way, but I wonder if I'm doing a unnecessary step or is there a faster way to do this while debugging my component?

It is not necessary to uninstall a package before making any changes. I've worked on plenty packages in my time, and never had a need to do so. The only situation where it's necessary would be if you have changed its name, or its location. Otherwise, just be sure to build/install it again after any edits.
