Unfortunately, RPM doesn't like dashes in the version string.
My suggestion is for vendors to move RC/PRE tags to the release string.
For example, in ALT Linux we would do samba-3.0.22-alt0.pre1.1 where the
last 1 is actual rpm build release and using 0.pre is guarantee for
proper updates later when actual release comes out as that will be just
alt1.
