Thank you again! I am trying to do my best. I am reading the documentation carefully, I recall mentioning that I am that kind of person, but I also know that time counts for the contributions. And if I figure out how to package R packages, then I can also package more packages and, whatever the result of outreachy might be, well, there are more useful packages in guix. For instance, I tried, before of asking for help with the example shown with cairo and it worked fine, so I was not understanding very well what was happening, In addition, I have just run $ guix package -s "\<R\>" | recsel -p name,synopsis >> outputRwithNameAndSynopsis.txt and found even more R packages already installed.
