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.

>               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
