Hi,

Yes.. that is what I did.. I built it from the fedora 31 source via:

dnf install rpm-build perl-generators

wget
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/31/Everything/source/tree/Packages/s/squirrelmail-1.4.23-2.fc31.20190710.src.rpm

rpmbuild --rebuild squirrelmail-1.4.23-2.fc31.20190710.src.rpm

and it works fine!
