[Fedora-packaging] Upstream version strings with a hyphen

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been asked earlier but I could not find anything
relevant through searches on the wiki and on Google, which is why I'm
asking my query here.

Gource upstream has released a new version as
gource-0.27-beta1-20100710. This is not accepted by rpmbuild for
obvious reasons. Is there a standard way to accomodate such
situations? I was otherwise thinking of defining a %{upstream_version}
as 0.27-beta-20100710 and the version for the package as
0.27.beta.20100710.

Thanks,
Siddhesh
