I have bought the book a few years ago: i talk about RPM 4.1. The online
version lacks some chapter also.

MAXIMUN RPM is all about RPM  3.0.x - used in redhat 6.2 if i remember
correctly and yes, also on AIX 5.3

Today we have at least 4.4.3.x.y.z(www.rpm.org), Mandriva also 4.4.6. Some
evolution and new features have occurred from 4.1
