Subject: [PATCH] gnu: Add gpaste at v3.42.2.

From: Attila Lendvai <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2022 10:39:12 +0100

* gnu/packages/gnome-xyz.scm (gpaste): New variable.
---

this is rather fresh, and i just started to use it on my everyday
install, so i recommend some grace period and/or extensive
testing before applying.

i'm opening this issue nevertheless, so that i can link to it from
the gpaste discussions and that others don't waste their time
packaging it yet again.
