📄 Description

Summary

This PR introduces native RPM packaging support for project-pegaprox, enabling installation on RHEL-based distributions such as:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
AlmaLinux 9
Rocky Linux 9

The goal is to simplify deployment in enterprise environments where RPM-based lifecycle management is standard.

Changes Included

Added RPM spec file under packaging/rpm/

Defined proper:
BuildRequires
Runtime dependencies
File manifest
Integrated systemd unit file
Verified successful build using rpmbuild on AlmaLinux 9
Clean build with no unpackaged file errors

Build Instructions
To build the RPM:

dnf install rpm-build rpmdevtools
rpmdev-setuptree
cp packaging/rpm/pegaprox.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
cp <generated-source-tarball> ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/pegaprox.spec

The resulting RPM will be available under:
~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/

Why This Is Useful

Many enterprise environments rely on:
Native RPM lifecycle management
Centralized repositories (Foreman, Satellite, Spacewalk)
Patch governance and version control
Configuration management via Ansible
Providing an official spec file allows:
Clean integration into internal repositories
Automated CI-based RPM builds
Easier adoption in production infrastructure

Testing
Built and tested on AlmaLinux 9

Verified:

Successful installation via dnf install
Service start/stop behavior via systemd script
Proper dependency resolution

Notes

No core source code modifications were made.
This change only introduces packaging support.
Pre-built RPMs are not included in the repository.
