Hi Clay!
When attempting to build from the latest 1.5-dev18 haproxy.spec
file I receive the following error:
# rpmbuild -bb haproxy.spec
error: line 3: Illegal char '-' in: Version: 1.5-dev18
I see. "Version" doesn't like the hyphen [1]. Could we put the dev18
in "Release" instead? This has been suggested here [2].
Clay, can you give this a try (see the patch above)? Please also
check that you see the "dev18" where you would expect it.
Regards,
Lukas

Thanks Lukas. New to the list, my apologies for not being aware of your
references prior to posting.
I had a few more modifications to the spec file that I am including to
get the rpmbuild to finish successfully for us.
Here is the complete diff from my spec that built and the original that
was included in examples:

I think that works for us. The RPM built will look like this:
haproxy-1.5-dev18.x86_64.rpm
Versus having the -1 "version" in the RPM.
i.e. haproxy-1.5dev18-1.x86_64.rpm.
You'll notice the modified filename with my original work around
removing the "-" from the Version value. This would work for us and when
1.5 drops the "dev" we could then go back to the more standard Version
and Release usage that is common amongst the RedHat and comparable systems.
Let me know if there are any other thoughts or input from others on the
list. Also, feel free to use any of our modifications if you feel they
would benefit others.
Clay
