Oops! I have built the package and then sent the patch. Ill make a patch
from the source changes and send it.
This is what i did
1) Downloaded Source
2) setup environment
3) ./bootstrap, ./configure, ./make
4) then made changes to .scm file in /gnu/packages
5) built using

    ./pre-inst-env guix build r-dyn
6) git link
7) then did the patch.
