For binary CDs of commercial software, RPM version 3 is the most
widely-accepted packaging format. So it makes sense for a lot of people making
binaries for Linux, I suppose. The Amiga SDK uses RPM to install.
For Gentoo Linux packages, I don't know. I've never used the RPM-building
option. It was one of the things that Achim added to Portage. Achim?
