fix(installer): use version-agnostic /rpm path for yum/dnf repo#65
Merged
Conversation
The yum repo URL written by installer.sh used $releasever, which on Fedora resolves to a published path (40/41/42/43) but on AlmaLinux/RHEL/Rocky/CentOS Stream resolves to the RHEL major version (8/9/10) and points at a non-existent path, causing a 403 during metadata download. repogen.sh now also publishes a version-agnostic /rpm/$arch/ repo alongside the per-Fedora-version paths. installer.sh and the README point at /rpm/$basearch. The per-Fedora paths are kept for users who already configured them. apt (/debian) and apk (/alpine) were already version-agnostic and need no change.

Pull request overview
Updates RPM repository publishing and installation instructions to use a version-agnostic /rpm/$basearch path, avoiding failures on RHEL-like distros where $releasever doesn’t map to a Fedora path.
Changes:
- Add generation + S3 publishing of a universal RPM repo under
/rpm/$arch/while keeping per-Fedora-version repos for backward compatibility. - Update
installer.shyum/dnf repo configuration to usehttps://repositories.upsun.com/rpm/$basearch. - Update README RPM installation instructions to reference the new
/rpm/$basearchURL.

Summary
installer.shwrote a yum repo URL using$releasever, which works on Fedora but breaks on AlmaLinux/RHEL/Rocky/CentOS Stream (where$releaseveris the RHEL major version, e.g.10, with no published/fedora/10/...path). Customers report a 403 duringdnfmetadata download.repogen.shnow also publishes a version-agnostic/rpm/$arch/repo.installer.shand the README point at/rpm/$basearch. The per-Fedora-version/fedora/$ver/$arch/paths are kept for backwards compatibility.apt(/debian) andapk(/alpine) were already version-agnostic and need no change.
