I checked, but dag only has the 99 series, and I wanted the 1.0 test. I understand that it fixes a bunch of problems that 99 had.

Why create your own RPM? White Box generally supports Red Hat Enterprise packages. I installed Dovecot from one of the RPMs listed here; http://dag.wieers.com/packages/dovecot/, and it worked on my WB server. Of course, the packaged version wasn't built with LDAP, so I ultimately installed from source. But if the default Dovecot build is good for you, then so are the RPMs found here.

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@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).
