Re: dovecot_config_version 2.4.2 -> error

I will create version file with last tag before running configure. Seems like that is all that is needed. this

git tag -l '[0-9]\.[0-9]*'  --sort=v:refname | tail -1

of course works IF your source is in a git repo

fwiw, in the git-less tarball rpm-build case, i use

curl -s 'https://api.github.com/repos/dovecot/core/tags' | jq -r '.[].name' | grep -E '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' | sort -V | tail -n1

a spec.

kludgy! but WORKSFORME
