A fix for IE and the Admin page of CUPS...

[Paul]

Really stupid question (I'm new to Linux and RPM's)
I want to build the RPM with these changes, but alter the version number a little so if i do a rpm -q i show it's not the standard 1.4.6 version.  I'd like to make it something line 1.4.6.1 or 1.4.6c1.  Any ideas how i'd go about doing that?

> so, I started looking through the code and I found a really easy fix for the CUPS WI when adding a printer (for those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, the web page shows 2. 1 stacked on top of the other and "appears" to hang

I don't know if it is worthwile, but if this could get into 1.4.7 (which i believe you said would be out soon) that would be great, if not I know what to fix before I make an RPM.
