Hey, I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. I must say I've never used emacs before, so I'll try to get the hang of it. Sharing my progress: I decided to package the arduino IDE, but it turned out way harder than I expected, due to its many dependencies. I ended up not doing it, but it was a good experience because I could learn about some functions in Scheme - chdir, for example -, some of the phases of building a package - like unpacking, configuring and building - and I could also interact with the community, asking for help, via IRC, which is a very new thing for me. As for today, I will continue trying to package something. I'll probably follow your previous advice and begin with a R package. It seems easier, so hopefully I'll succeed.
Cheers, Magali.
