A rough guess: for those folks using apt4rpm as their package management tool.

Hey bigrigdriver. So is the 'apt' for upgrading to the latest version?

PCLinux OS uses apt by default. PCLinuxOS is some kind of rolling distribution, like Arch. Look on the Arch page on DW, on Arch it is labeled current, on PCLinuxOS apt, but it is the same thing. It notes the versions that are currently used.
