[Bioc-devel] Docker images for RELEASE_3_11 and devel on R-4.0.0

Dear Nitesh,

I would like to ask, is there any plan for updating the bioconductor 
packages in bioconda? I saw in anaconda.org <http://anaconda.org>, 
last update of all of the bioconductor packages (bioconductor-pkgname) 
I have checked was 6 months ago. Do the update must be done by 
bioconductor core team or can the package maintainers somehow do it by 
themselves?

Many thanks for your explanation.
Best regards,
Vinh

Dear Maintainers,

The latest set of docker images on R-4.0.0 are now available on 
docker hub. You can access the latest images with,

docker pull bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel

docker pull bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:RELEASE_3_11

docker pull bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:latest


Note: The "latest" tag now points to the RELEASE_3_11 version of 
Bioconductor.

Details:

- The new set of docker images inherit from the latest stack of 
images produced by rocker 
(https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned2). It has taken some 
time to produce the new images because the rocker images have been 
developed on Ubuntu 18.04 base images, as opposed to Debian.

- With the new 'bioconductor/bioconductor_docker' images being 
available on Ubuntu 18.04, we move closer to mimicking the 
Bioconductor linux build machine.

- Both images which are produced now, build almost all the packages 
in Bioconductor. RStudio is also available as in previous versions.
