Add version bumping script for packages

[victorpopkov]

Problem

Updating package versions in our Docker images is currently a manual and time-consuming process. This can lead to inconsistencies and potential security vulnerabilities if packages are not regularly updated. Automating this process will help ensure that our images are always using the latest package versions and reduce the risk of human error.

Proposed solution

Implement a script named bump-packages.sh in the bin directory to automate the bumping of package versions in our Docker images. The script will:

• Parse the Dockerfile to identify the packages that need to be updated.
• Check for the latest available versions of these packages using a package manager or API.
• Update the Dockerfile with the new package versions.
• Include a -d or --dry-run option to preview changes before applying them.
• Add a -c or --commit flag to apply the changes directly to the Dockerfile without requiring a dry run.

Progress

• Create the bump-packages.sh script in the bin directory.
• Implement logic to parse the Dockerfile and identify packages.
• Use a package manager or API to check for the latest package versions.
• Write logic to update the Dockerfile with new versions.
• Implement a -d or --dry-run mode to show potential changes without applying them.
• Add a -c or --commit flag to apply changes directly to the Dockerfile.
