      The ".rpm" files should have the shorter "external" forms of the
      names (just like the ".bin" files). We don't want internal build
      dates and build numbers leaking out in this way.

      Note that there's also an issue being discussed as to whether the "-linux-"
      in these file names (both forms) should be "-linux-i386-" instead. I believe
      the latest consensus is that it should. This sub-issue, though, is not a
      high priority, and could be deferred. Just make sure Docs,
      Dev Engineering, Web Engineering, and Release Engineering all agree on
      whatever names being used.
