Hello Bioconductor Users: 

I would like you all to be aware of some changes to the Bioconductor dockers. 

The Bioconductor Core Team has decided to support and maintain the Bioconductor
base and core dockers only. We have had some volunteers take over the
metabolomics and proteomic dockers so they will also remain supported.  

The release dockers will be built once per release cycle to try to maintain
stability and consistancy.  

In an effort to keep the development dockers up to date we have implemented the
auto build option in dockerhub.  The currently supported devel dockers will be
built weekly with the most up to date version of R and Bioconductor
packages.

The new and maintained dockerhub repositories are:

Because of dockerhub settings, it was not possible to change the setting of

already existing dockers.  The following dockers remain so that the legacy

versions will remain available. These however WILL NOT be updated further at any
time: 

bioconductor/devel_base
bioconductor/devel_core
bioconductor/devel_flow
bioconductor/devel_microarray
bioconductor/devel_proteomics
bioconductor/devel_sequencing
bioconductor/devel_metabolomics
bioconductor/release_base
bioconductor/release_core
bioconductor/release_flow
bioconductor/release_microarray
bioconductor/release_proteomics
bioconductor/release_sequencing
bioconductor/release_metabolomics
