Closed Fpadt closed 4 years ago

Fpadt commented 4 years ago

Hi,

First of all thanks for this great work.

Just for my understanding I noted that till r-ver:3.6.3 Debian 10 (buster) was used and it seems that for r-ver:latest ubuntu 20.04 LTS is used. I couldn't find anything of this change in the documentation, might be related to the R version 4.x

I checked this github repository and found only dockerfiles for r-ver till 3.6.3. In the rocker-org/rocker-versioned2 I found the r-ver 4.x docker files. Is Debian abandoned?

many thanks in advance

Hi @Fpadt. There are a number of architectural changes starting with R 4.0.0 so those images are now built and documented at https://github.com/rocker-org/rocker-versioned2. We just added a note and link in the README here and across the other r-ver based repositories, and are working on the best way to make sure the information migrates to Docker Hub.

Thanks @Fpadt .

Also just adding for the record in case anyone doesn't click through: from 4.0.0 on, rocker-versioned images (rocker/r-ver, rocker/rstudio, rocker/tidyverse, rocker/verse, rocker/geospatial, rocker/binder, rocker/shiny, rocker/shiny-verse) are to based on the latest Ubuntu LTS, i.e. Ubuntu 20.04.

Images previously based on debian will remain so. (Also we need to update: VERSIONS.md
