Subject: bug#15890: Please provide a way to delete old build directories.
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 09:14:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131114081454.GA11819@jocasta.intra> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 706 bytes --]
When packages are built using guix build --keep-failed the build directories
are created in /tmp/nix* (as they should be).
But it is impossible to delete these directories without special priviliges.
The user who called guix build --keep-failed cannot delete them because they
are owned by guix-builder
Can we please either:
1. Have a command (or option to guix gc) to remove them ; OR
2. Arrange for the ownership of such directories to be changed to the calling user,
after the build has finished.
J'
