construct it yourself, or don't use that RPM (preferably, both).

Actually, using RPM is a great way to control versioning.

The way I do it (on Fedora) is to build my own RPMs from the source package. This requires the rpm-build package to be installed.

All you do is:

  # rpmbuild --rebuild bincimap-1.2.10final-1.src.rpm

This creates /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/bincimap-1.2.10final-1.i386.rpm which you can install with:

  # rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/bincimap-1.2.10final-1.i386.rpm

Show me a better way.
