Could you rebase on the top? Please. > Do you mean that those packages are included? Or do you mean the packages aren't indented correctly? I mean that the file gnu/packages/cran.scm has changed (new packages that are not yours have been added) so the patches you sent do not apply (which means that "git am" fails). Your packages are *not* included, yet. Because they are not compliant enough with the standard. The indentation is one the minor tweaks you have to do. To summary: 1. please re-read and you can experiment with (see the other steps too) and train with for example . 2. do the changes (git rebase -i) 3. rebase your branch (if any) on the top of master 4. git format-patch -v2 --base= 5. git send-email --to=44033@debbugs.gnu.org ... Does it make sense? If you are failing, do not hesitate to ask help on #guix over IRC. All the best, simon
