Looks good, but I don't quite understand why we're using this new base image.

Thank you @birm , because we need the new Openslide for both the Slideloader and the iipsrv and it'll also have the BioFormats decoder. It helps us avoid compiling all of these twice.

Thank you for replying to my last email about converting instead of reading from BioFormats. Afterwards I experimented with conversion and concluded that it was both slow and unreliable in terms of the final file size (current /infile/pyramid/outfile.tiff converter works fine as it works with single layers and usually small images; the opposite for what bioformats may be used for). Then I had a meeting with Tony and he approved my proposed path of continuing with tileserving instead of converting, so imagedecoders repo/image will also have the java+bioformats installation. My plan is to have two scripts there to be run by docker, one for openslide, one for java and bioformats, but using a common image allows compiling these just once. Please let me know if you have any suggestions @birm .
