Description
As working on IBM-Validated-Software List I noticed that after some time some packages in a file get expired or modified. That's the case for every file that we've in our supported_distro.py. We might be serving the wrong packages to our users through our platform and that's something we can't ignore and might need to correct. Till now we don't update the files till it is Expired or if the file is not being created successfully.
I've attached a Screenshot for your reference. This is the file for IBM_Validated_OSS_List_Ubuntu_2004.json. As you can see, packages change over time.
Therefore, We might need to drop our data files and recreate them after some time regularly. We can also automate this so that we don't have to create each and every file again and again manually.
@pleia2 and @arshPratap Please take a look into this.

Research direction
Start by reading supported_distro.py and reviewing how the IBM_Validated_OSS_List_Ubuntu_2004.json and other data files are created. Define a regular recreation process for all supported distribution files, with completion shown by updated package data being generated automatically rather than only after expiry or creation failure.
