Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a Linux administrator using DSC v3 on RHEL, I want official DSC v3 RPM packages to be available on Microsoft's official Linux package repository so that I can install and update DSC simply and securely using existing approved methods described in Microsoft Learn, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Take the existing DSC v3 tar.gz assets, package them into RPMs, and publish them on packages.microsoft.com so that RHEL users can install DSC easily via standard commands such as: sudo dnf install dsc
