[CentOS] Using CentOS Wordpress rpms

Greetings,

Apologies for my seeming daft naivete.

I'm wondering if there any sort of conventions for using Wordpress on 
CentOS?

Generally until now, I have had users install Wordpress from tarballs on a 
case-by-case basis. This means that you can have several different 
versions of WordPress operating on a site.

With the RPM you have a version that can be consistent across multiple 
websites on one server.

Is this done through the use of symlinks, or is there some other, 
additional magic that gets put to use.

I've done a little searching of the Google genie, but I'm only led to 
webpages outlining installing Wordpress from tarballs.


Much thanks,
