As far as naming for rpms go.  I have seen the following and it makes sense 
to me.

package-[subpackage-]version-release.distro.arch.rpm

e.g.

postgresql-7.0.2-2.rh5.x.i386.rpm
postgresql-7.0.2-2.rh6.x.i386.rpm
postgresql-7.0.2-2.rh6.x.i686.rpm
postgresql-7.1-0.mandrake7.x.i386.rpm
postgresql-7.1-0.mandrake7.x.i586.rpm
postgresql-7.1-0.mandrake7.x.i686.rpm

Boy, wouldn't be great if they didn't have to be packaged for different 
distro's .. :)
