[Dovecot] Trying to install Test43 with rpmbuild

[Benjamin J. Weiss]

Hi!

I'm using WhiteBox Enterprise Linux 3.0, which is a re-compile distro of 
RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0.  I'm installing a new mail server and would 
like to use dovecot as it supports Maildir, which the default imapd does 
not.

I've downloaded test43's tarball, and would prefer to use RPM to manage 
it.  To that end, I've tried to do an rpmbuild, but get an error:

[root at www src]# rpmbuild -ta dovecot-1.0-test43.tar.gz
error: line 7: Illegal char '-' in version: Version: 1.0-test43

I tried untaring the tarball and looking at the dovecot.spec file, and 
sure enough on line 7 is a reference to "Version: 1.0-test43".  The 
problem is that if I take out the '-', and try rpmbuild, I get more 
errors.

I'm not an expert in this stuff...has anybody else managed to get this 
working?  It would sure make my life easier (I think).
