The package name is defined inside the .rpm file, it's just a convention that the file name includes the package name and version. You could rename the file to anything without changing the actual package name. > examples: > prodproductABC1.4.i386.rpm > prodproductABC1.4.noarnoarch > prodproductABCelopment.1.01.4.i686.rpm All of those violate the naming convention for package files, if the package is "prodproductABC" and the version is 1.4, then the recommended file name for the first RPM build would be: prodproductABC-1.4-1.i386.rpm -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxx
