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
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-10/msg00047.html>
and you can experiment with <https://git-send-email.io/#step-4> (see
the other steps too) and train with for example
<https://git-rebase.io/>.
  2. do the changes (git rebase -i)
  3. rebase your branch (if any) on the top of master
  4. git format-patch -v2 --base=<last-master-commit-before-your-changes>
  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
