Description
This will reduce image sizes.
I've just tested
docker pull posit/r-base:4.5-noble
docker pull posit/r-base:4.5-bookworm
And both work great. Not sure if there are slim versions: adding -slim fails. Any thoughts welcome, thanks @e-kotov for flagging issues with the previous version of this issue (it was garbage)!
