The Wazuh indexer package does not set revision in the package metadata

[rauldpm]

Description

Testing the v4.9.0-alpha1 Wazuh installation assistant script to build the AMI and the OVA, I found that the Wazuh indexer package failed to be installed from the packages-dev.wazuh.com/pre-release repository

The Wazuh installation assistant used the following command: wazuh-indexer=4.9.0-* to install the package but failed to install it, note that this only happens with the Wazuh indexer

The Wazuh indexer package can be installed using wazuh-indexer without specifying version and revision, it also fails when the package specifies revision * (this will match the last revision of the package i.e. -2)

This means that the package metadata is incorrect, we need to investigate the cause and fix it so we can test the package

Looking at the cache data of the repository, we can see that package 4.9.0 has no revision (check the version field)

The revision is passed correctly to debmake. The cause why it's not saved in the metadata is unknown.

The .deb package metadata is controlled from distribution/packages/build.gradle, and the version number seems to be extracted from the VERSION file in the repo's root.

[f-galland]

Setting the value of release in build.gradle's commonDebConfig closure seems to add a revision to the packages:

Closure commonDebConfig(boolean jdk, String architecture) {
  return {
    configure(commonPackageConfig('deb', jdk, architecture))
    release = 1

    // jdeb does not provide a way to set the License control attribute, and ospackage
    // silently ignores setting it. Instead, we set the license as "custom field"
    customFields['License'] = 'ASL-2.0'

    archiveVersion = project.version.replace('-', '~')
    packageGroup 'web'

    // versions found on oldest supported distro, centos-6
    requires('bash', '4.1', GREATER | EQUAL)
    requires('lsb-base', '4', GREATER | EQUAL)
    requires 'libc6'
    requires 'adduser'

  }
