Revising sequoia packaging

Revising sequoia packaging

Hi,

for those who contributed to sequoia packaging:

Currently, sequoia is packages somewhat sub-optimal:

There are some rust-creates in crates-io.scm (rust-sequoia-openpgp-0.9, 
rust-sequoia-rfc2822-0.9) and the big sequoia package in sequoia.scm. 
The other sequoia crates are currently not available as separate 
creates. Future versions of pEp (pretty easy privacy, pep.scm, which 
relies on sequoia) will get its own "pEpEngineSequoiaBackend" FFI library.

I propose the following:

  * Move all sequoia related crates in to sequoia.scm. As of now these
    are only rust-sequoia-openpgp-0.9, rust-sequoia-rfc2822-0.9 and
    there is only on package depending on them rust-libpijul-0.12
  * bufferedreader, rust-nettle and other crates from the sequoia
    project but not having "sequoia" (or such) in the name would be kept
    in crates-io.scm
  * In sequoia.scm there would be all sequoia crates, with the app
    packages named without "rust-" prefix ("sequoia-sq", …)
  * The current "sequoia" package will become a "wrapper", just
    propagating (or copying, what ever is more common in guix) the other
    packages which have an actual output.

WDYT?

I like these two.

So to clarify, rust-sequoia-openpgp-0.9 (and similar libraries) keep
their names, and sequoia-sq and other "end user binaries" don't have a
'rust-' prefix (and are built with #:install-source? #f).

Sounds good to me.

Sounds like you have a good plan :)
