You mean, instead of ’inherit’ from ’gpgme’, right?

Well, the current version on PyPI is 1.10.0 and the ’gpgme’ is 1.15.1.

Why the symbol is ’-latest’?

when the name is not?  And ’gpgme’ neither.


Well, I propose to use this updated version using ’gpgme’ and drop the
old package from PyPI if all the dependencies,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix refresh -l python-gpg
Building the following 9 packages would ensure 14 dependent packages are 
rebuilt: alot@0.10 gajim-openpgp@1.4.9 assword@0.11 linuxdcpp@1.1.0 
ikiwiki@3.20200202.3 xandikos@0.2.3 python-oslosphinx@4.18.0 websockify@0.8.0 
breezy@3.2.2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

build fine.  WDYT?

Cheers,
simon
