Jason,

If you are installing from source using the stuff at github, then you are installing the same exact thing, but without the 200 hours or so of research and review that I have put into this. In short, you are installing alpha. If you give me a couple of hours I will have a newer package available. It is going to be the final in a day or two unless someone else reports a problem with the version I posted. I can let you know today when it is ready.

Or, you can march on with what you are doing. To do so, add this to your spec file:

Provides: perl(MailScanner::FileInto), perl(next_item_here), perl(and_the_next)

And your RPM will install. However, you will be missing a lot of MailScanner dependencies that the RPM installer does not catch that is installed with the version I am making. 


Its your barbecue.
