In general, the naming scheme is as follows:
packagename-version.release.build-identifier
Or something like that... everything in the -identifier field is for the
compiler's information, to distinguish one compile from another (maybe to
indicate the patch version?). Most people don't use that -identifier field
unless it's being distributed. So, don't worry about the -3 not appearing.
As for needing/wanting/using the RedHat patches... that's another issue.
