Add "fix broken hashes" automation

[Ana06]

Details

Add automation to automatically update the hash of broken packages, similar to the package update. This automation should only be triggered manually and we should add to the PR description that the update needs to be reviewed.

Requesting for more information regarding the issue.

[Ana06]

This issue is about extending our current CI to update broken package automatically, similarly as we do with package updates at the moment. What exactly is not clear @PrajeetGuha?

[PrajeetGuha]

The CI automation automatically updates package url, version and respective hash. By the term hash of broken packages you mean
Packages that uses dynamic links and due to changes in the file in the link, hash does not match?
or something else that I am missing?

Is it same as this? #91

@nasirhm I have not started working on it. You can work on it if you want to.

[nasirhm]

@Ana06 I would like to work on it.

@PrajeetGuha we have some URLs that do not include the version. When a tool update happens, the URL stays the same, but the hash changes. This breaks the package as the hash verification fails. This issue is about adding a new automation (or extending the current one) to update the hash when it does not match the current one. You are right it is a duplicate of #91.

@nasirhm note that this issue requires some knowledge of GitHub Actions, Python, PowerShell and how the project works and is structured. So it may not be the easiest issue to start contributing to the project. But if it is something you find interesting and you want to give it a try, please go for it! Let us know if you plan to work on it, so that otherwise @PrajeetGuha or @sara-rn can work on it.

And sorry for the late reply, I have missed this. 😅
