Linux (RPM/DEB) ARM Package Creation

Parent Issue:

• Create Installation Packages for Wazuh Agent #128 (?)

Description

This issue focuses on creating RPM and DEB packages to facilitate the installation of a generic software agent on Linux distributions, targeting ARM architectures. The packages should handle all required dependencies and include pre/post-installation scripts to ensure proper service behavior upon installation.

RPM Package

The RPM package should be compatible with RHEL-based distributions such as RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora. It must handle dependencies efficiently and include pre/post-installation scripts to ensure proper service states.

DEB Package

The DEB package should target Debian-based distributions such as Debian and Ubuntu. Similar to the RPM package, it should handle dependencies and ensure proper service behavior through pre/post-installation scripts.

Functional Requirements

General Requirements

• Develop both RPM and DEB packages compatible with ARM architectures.
• Ensure dependencies are managed correctly during installation.
• Include pre/post-installation scripts for configuring service behavior.

RPM-Specific Requirements

• Create an RPM spec file for RHEL-based systems.
• Ensure the service is disabled after installation by default.
• Test installation, uninstallation, and upgrade workflows.

DEB-Specific Requirements

• Create a DEB package for Debian-based systems.
• Ensure the service is disabled after installation by default.
• Test installation, uninstallation, and upgrade workflows.

Acceptance Criteria

• Both RPM and DEB packages are successfully built and integrate with native package managers.
• Installation, uninstallation, and upgrade processes are tested and validated on ARM-based RHEL and Debian distributions.
• Service states are correctly managed during installation and removal processes.

Update

(14/01/2025) Set up development environment, checking package building availability and needed related development.
(15/01/2025) Packages can be built adding some additional dependencies to the Dockerfile, but remote binary caching is not able to be set so far, this problem must be investigated.
(17/01/2025) Opened PR with the needed changes. Found a problem regarding the GHA token, it lacks permission to upload new dependencies for the new architecture.
(20/01/2025) Verified token problem, pending to solve it.
