This depends upon how you want to install the upgrade and how your 
current installation was made.

In my case it's as easy as:

rpm -Fvh hylafax-4.2.0-1rh7.i386.rpm  (you did say "when it becomes a 
release").

Usually just a re-do of what you did to install it in the first place, 
but probably with less configuration matters.

If you consider the comments above and a README file as documentation 
then yes, if not, no.

I recommend that ever administrator come to understand and know how to 
work with the package managment program on the system (i.e. RPM).
