I think you lost the plot a bit ;-) hylafax-4.0.2-9.i386.rpm was a suggested 
name for the RPM binary distribution for RedHat Linux. In reality I would 
prefer hylafax-4.0.2-1rh5.i386.rpm bit it's all just conjecture at this point.

The idea is to have the rpm's name reflect the HylaFAX source upon which it is 
based, in this case 4.0.2 -> 4.0pl2.

If you're asking how the current HylaFAX RPM is different, well I'm not sure, 
it appears I have an outdated one. I suggest you install the SRPM on a RedHat 
machine and have a look at the patch being applied to the source in 
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES  . . . it's pretty big. Also there's some post- and 
pre-install magic/voodoo going on here and there.
