Yes, any new build should always have a new version.  There should be a
"Version:" line near the top, probably set to something like
"37%{?dist}".  I'd probably go with "37%{?dist}.0.1" myself (probably
not an issue in this case since there's unlikely to ever be another
update you'd load).

If you want to make it "nice" (in the small chance anybody else ever had
to touch the system), you could also look for the "%changelog" section
and add a note there about your change.

Sorry about the --nodeps mini-rant, that's just a thing I hate to see
anybody ever suggest on a mailing list.
