RPM handles RPM packages. If you want to use the rpm database you must create RPM packages of the new package. End of story. If you just need to change compile time options, download the src.rpm packages and rebuild them with your options. If you want newer versions, use those src.rpms as a starting point. Your other option is to deal with the dependencies yourself from source and just not install RPMs. -- William Hooper
