Hi Guix,

So I'm looking to improve my key management skills and was reading this article,
https://riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices
I had not heard of Parcimonie before, but I immediately liked the idea of it.
And since Parcimonie wasn't packaged for Guix I of course figured I should
package it real quick. After all, a program that just refreshes your keyring
every now and then shouldn't be too complex and need a lot of dependencies,
maybe a few, right?

Well, it needed a lot. And the dependencies needed a lot of dependencies. And
also some of the dependencies dependencies required many dependencies. Great! I
naively jumped into this, and at any one point had no idea if I was packaging
the last module or not (I'm sure you're familiar with this). Think I got the
last one in the end though. But it's taken waaay more time than I anticipated.
Also with 56 packages it becomes difficult to make sure each of them is on
standard, so I assume some are below standard.

It would be particularly interesting if someone with some Parcimonie experience
could try it, and report if there's any missing features etc.. I haven't used
it before and have just started it a few times to see that it can at least
start.

Back to the article for me :)

Best,
Petter

Hi Petter,

I have split the patch into separate commits, fixed some incorrect
licenses and descriptions, enabled tests where possible, changed
“inputs” to “propagated-inputs” where appropriate, and updated some of
the packages.

I skipped some non-essential packages such as perl-app-nopaste and its
dependencies, because it was not needed after all, and it reduced the
overall amount of work.

The result is the parcimonie package added with commit 15b084425 in
master.

Thanks for the contribution!
