Hi James!

First, thanks for such a great product!  I've been using openvpn-1.3.2 on a
few Mandrake boxes for a little under a year now, and it's been bulletproof.

Now I'd like to try out windows support, so I thought I'd upgrade to your
latest beta.  (I'm not sure if that's necessary on my linux boxes, but I
thought it might be nice to try it out anyway.)  The problem is that I
install everything as RPMs on my Mandrake box, and I got an error when I
used the rpmbuild-tb [tarball] command.  This seems to be because you use a
dash character "-" in the version number.  I was able to get around this by
making the dash character into an underscore, setting version to "1.5_beta7"
in openvpn.spec.  I also made the directory name and tar ball use the same
convention.  It works fine on the box I upgraded, even working with my other
openvpn-1.3.2 installations.

Anyway, I wanted to suggest that you avoid using dash characters in future
beta version numbers.

Thanks!

John
