Hi simon,

I don=E2=80=99t know.  We could have one with R + all CRAN and bioconductor
packages that we currently offer.

That=E2=80=99s easier: with =E2=80=9Cguix pack=E2=80=9D.  We would create a=
 Cuirass job to build
a pack regularly.  We=E2=80=99d need to add support for hooks to publish the
generated pack on DockerHub, though we could just as well host them
ourselves.

Would you like to give this a try?  A good first step is to list the
steps that need to be performed.  A first implementation might even be
done with a cron job.  I could add this to berlin.guixsd.org when you=E2=80=
=99re
ready.
