RPM is the default package manager. I would expect that it has gotten the
most mileage so far because of that. All of them are tested with
autobuilder. IPK is probably the next commonly used one since popular for
embedded systems for its leightweight and smaller footprint design. You can
have YP build for any combination of the package managers at the same time.
The builds just take longer. I recommend starting with RPM and when your
system boots try out the other ones if you need to.
