http://SpamAssassin.org/released/Mail-SpamAssassin-3.000000-pre1.tar.gz
I just built this into an RPM, but it was necessary to remove the "-pre1" to do so, and the resulting RPM is named spamassassin-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm (ie. the package release is 1). Is there any way to get it to not require the rename and to build as RPM release 0.1, so that the final release is 1 and the prereleases are all fractions? I know I could manually hack the spec file with each prerelease, but it would be nice if this were part of the machinery.
What I did:
ln -s Mail-SpamAssassin-3.000000-pre1.tar.gz \
Mail-SpamAssassin-3.000000.tar.gz
rpmbuild -ta Mail-SpamAssassin-3.000000.tar.gz
