skipping xmms package updates?

[Keith]

A quick way is to remove xmms from the rpm database listing
/var/lib/rpm.
I don't know if rpm allows you to install a package without adding it
to the rpm database. I have used midnight commander to extract files
to /usr/local/ for certain programs that I don't want rpm to update or
know about.
