To start: Follow the instructions in section 7 of the documentation: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/guix.html#Contributing To summarize it, you need to clone the git sources and then add your package definition to the gnu/packages/cran.scm file, commit your changes with a commit message as explained in section 7.5 (Submitting Patches). Finally instead of pushing, you generate a patch file with `git format-patch` and send it to the patches tracker. Does that sound reasonable? Björn
