Comment(by afb@…):

 Actually we only have "rpm" and "rpm52" in practice, with the others more
 or less abandoned...

 It's possible to build rpm 5.3 and 5.4 and HEAD directly from the CVS
 using "devtool macports".
 But there was not enough interest in "RPM ACID" or any of the other
 development to make a port.

 In fact there's no ongoing work on package management - in ports - at all,
 so I left RPM at 5.2.1.
 But I suppose one '''could''' upgrade rpm52 to rpm53 (probably rename it
 to "rpm5" or something)

 What is the main reason to upgrade it ? Is it covered at
 https://blueprints.launchpad.net/rpm ?
