… CLI repository URL Remove the unnecessary escape character before the $basearch variable in the Datadog Security CLI YUM repository URL. The escaped value (\$basearch) caused YUM/DNF to construct an invalid repository path, resulting in a 404 error while fetching repository metadata. Using $basearch directly allows YUM/DNF to correctly resolve the system architecture (e.g., x86_64) and access the appropriate package repository. This change restores successful repository metadata retrieval and enables the Datadog Security CLI package to be installed correctly on supported RPM-based systems.

Remove the unnecessary escape character before the $basearch variable in the Datadog Security CLI YUM repository URL for Red Hat/CentOS.
The escaped value ($basearch) caused YUM/DNF to generate an invalid repository path, resulting in a 404 error while fetching repository metadata. Using $basearch directly allows YUM/DNF to correctly resolve the system architecture (for example, x86_64) and access the appropriate package repository.
This change ensures that the Datadog Security CLI can be installed successfully using the package repository instructions for Red Hat/CentOS and other supported RPM-based systems.
