[Bioc-devel] MultiAssayExperiment not found in docker devel image

Hi Joesph,

1. The RELEASE_3_11 and devel images do not have any installed packages. You are free to install the packages within these images. Please read the help http://bioconductor.org/help/docker/ <http://bioconductor.org/help/docker/>. The goal behind these images is to provide an image where all Bioconductor packages can be installed. Once you install the MultiAssayExperiment package it will load just fine.

2. The RELEASE_3_11 image is the stable version, the devel version will keep changing every week based on updates in R and any fixes Bioconductor issues.

3. The bioconductor_docker:bioc2020 image is based on the ?devel? image, but a frozen tag during the conference. The docker images used for workshops come with pre-installed packages, and they are derived from the bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel image. 

I would recommend using the bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:RELEASE_3_11 (stable) image for analysis work. All images provided by Bioconductor are reliable. If you need to report any issues, please use the https://github.com/Bioconductor/bioconductor_docker/issues <https://github.com/Bioconductor/bioconductor_docker/issues>.

Best,

Nitesh
