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.
