base image should disable download progress bar

[sneumann]

Hi, build logs like
https://hub.docker.com/r/bioconductor/devel_metabolomics2/builds/bohdubxhqdbrqffkjcjsyti/
become difficult to grasp due to excessive noise from download progress bar.
It would be great if there was a global option deactivating that in the base image.

biocLite() uses download.file(). According to ?download.file a progress bar is shown
when in interactive mode. Can be disabled with quiet = TRUE. Yours, Steffen

Is this still an issue? Can you provide a more recent report if so?
I also don't see the point of having a global option that would still have to be passed into the argument?
