I downloaded the ATRPM specfile (http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot.spec)
and the recent dovecot file and get a

Fehler: Ungültige Quelle:
/root/rpmbuild/SOURCES/dovecot-2.1-defaultconfig.patch: Datei oder
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

when I do rpmbuild -ba dovecot.spec

May be I'm heading into the total wrong direction, as I never did build
a rpm before...

May be someone can point me into the right direction?
