New issue 98 by [email protected]: RPM can't figure out how to increment versions.
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=98

When we release -rc versions, we supply users with an rpm spec which generates:

memcached-1.4.2-rc1.x86_64.rpm or whatever.

But the "rpm approved" versioning is really:

memcached-1.4.2-0.1.rc.x86_64.rpm

Which allows the final release to be:

memcached-1.4.2-1.x86_64.rpm

Which allows stupid tools like yum to actually upgrade the software.

So our specfile generator needs to turn a tag of:

1.4.2-rc1

into:

Version: 1.4.2
Release: 0.1.rc

... for the spec file.
