I am going to need to rebuild Apache shortly to change the suexec
docroot to /home, in line with what VirtualMin requires. This, in and of
itself, does not scare me. What does make me a bit nervous is the
prospect of doing this without breaking all of the various RPM
dependencies and hosing my system the next time the httpd package is
updated.

Is there a preferred method for rebuilding Apache on FC3? If I install
from source, how do I get all of the other packages which depend on it
to work correctly? In the past, I would have built the custom version in
/usr/local, but nothing (e.g.: the init scripts, WebMin, etc) expects to
find it there. If I modify the build configuration in the SRPM and
rebuild/reinstall, how do I keep a YUM update from clobbering the
customized binary? Is there a "yum
- 
--update-everything-except-bloody-apache-and-any-other-package-which-will-depend-on
- 
-the-new-apache-version-and-by-the-way-tell-me-so-I-can-do-something-about-it"
command-line option somewhere?
