Yes, there is a semi-automated way of doing RPMs as well as explicit
ways to define the version and package release.

On an "Enterprise" version of Linux, the vendor has supplied packages
like:

   libbonoboui-2.8.0.99cvs20040929-2
   module-init-tools-3.1-0.pre5.3.10
   libtheora-1.0alpha3-5

The lastest release of Debian has things like:

   sc_7.16-2
   r-noncran-lindsey_1.0.20071024-1.1
   libtachyon-0.98_0.98~beta.dfsg-1
   grpn_1.1.2-2+b1

And all of these have architecture variants and subvariants and
architecture independant packages as well.

So, I don't see where this is a specific problem or issue with torque.
