If you don't want to depend on RPMs I encourage you to take a
look at the encap-system(1) which makes it easy to manage
packages that you build on your own: installing, upgrading,
uninstalling is all a breeze - and you could also play around
with two different versions to find out if there's ample reason
to make a final upgrade.
