How to change wireshark binary package name in Linux?

Current name is wireshark-1.x.x-1.i686.rpm. I want to rename the Linux binary package as wireshark-1.x.x-MySoftware-Version.i686.rpm, while -Version is -1, -2, etc. Config.nmake was changed:

VERSION_EXTRA=-MySoftware-2

But it did not work. The name was not changed.

Any other file I should change to put local build information in the binary package?

Thank you.

You will have to amend the Release field in the Wireshark.spec file from which you build the RPM.

Thanks a lot. I know I need to change some wireshark.spec files. Can you let me know which file?
