I have been building a few packages from source such as evolution and
its support.  I would like to insert somehow into the rpm database that
this has been done - specifically bonob-conf which has been built from
source and is available, but rpm does not know about it.  Issueing a
--nodeps is a bit dangerous when there are a lot of dependencies.

Should I be building ALL tar stuff (or rather cvs which is what I am
building from) into a src rpm, issue a "rpm -rebuild" and install it
from there?  Is there a less messy way such as just telling rpm that
this package is there, even if it has not been installed as an rpm?
