Custom compiled rpm, then back to ART

Hello,

I have a bit of difficulty understanding how yum works.

I need to install a more recent version of PHP on my server, but at the same time, I do not want to stop using ART in the future, once new updates for PHP are available.

So, I wanted to create a custom RPM with some custom options (tidy, mcrypt) activated, but my question is - if I decide to go back to ART's php packages, when available, will I be able to use them on my system? Or I will first need to remove my own PHP package?

Thanks a lot, and sorry for the newbieish question.

Yum will only install packages if they are newer than the currently installed ones. So if you want to revert to ART's packages you'll have to uninstall your own first as long as they're newer.
