dovecot - Apr 2014 - 2.2.12 RPM Needed

Greetings,

I'm not very experienced in building Source RPMs and we're in need of a 
Dovecot RPM for version 2.2.12 for CentOS 5.  It seems that the  ATRPMs 
repo maintained by Axel Thimm hasn't seen much activity lately and the 
task of updating a source RPM is more than I have time for as a busy 
developer who does systems admin on the side.

Could anybody recommend another repo where there would be the latest 
Dovecot binaries?  Or perhaps tell me of any gotchas and catches which 
might arise if I go ahead and build 2.2.12 from source over the RPM I 
currently have installed (2.2.10)?

Thanks.

you only need to replace the tarball and the version in the SPEC
and rebuild the package - for monir updates you don't need anything
else if upstream has no broken release strategy, dovecot's is fine

i am building dovecot the last two years without any SPEC change
except version and changelog - but you won't be happy with my
stripped down SPEC following our infrastructure (no configs etc.)
