Converting[/Upgrading] httpd (yum version) to src version

[:: [F]usion[S]tream :: -- Gmail]

Hi there.

Can anyone tell me how I can update my httpd that was installed via yum
to an src version that I will build myself?

My main stumbling block here is that httpd already uses some directories
that I plan to use in my ./configuration of the src. I no longer wish to
use yum for my upgrades.

This is a live server so I can't 'yum remove' and carry on with my configs.

Cheers and TIA.
