Hello Guix!
I would like to report that "guix pull --delete-generations" is missing
and its absence can be considered as a bug.
Due to this, users cannot straight-forwardly delete guix pull
generations and garbage collect them via guix gc. This causes too much
accumulation of generations and its files in the storage.
I request the admin to set the severity and priority of this bug to
"high".
Thank you!
Regards,
RG.

“guix pull” uses a regular profile at ~/.config/guix/current, so you can
do “guix package -p ~/.config/guix/current --delete-generations”

Thanks Ricardo! I am aware of this as someone suggested this on IRC. ☺.
My concern is that there is "guix system delete-generations" and "guix
package --delete-generations"; but not "guix pull --delete-
generations".
Bringing "guix pull --delete-generations" will be straight-forward and
any user does not have to type profile path everytime they delete
generations. Will also be intutive for new guix users. ☺
Regards,
RG.

Note that there’s also ‘guix gc --delete-generations’, which is really
what newcomers should be using IMO because it operates on all the user’s
profiles.
That said, I think a patch that adds ‘--delete-generations’ to ‘guix
pull’ would also be welcome.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Thanks! Does `guix gc --delete-generations` delete guix pull generations as well?

True :)

Thank you very much. It worked. Phew! 5GB of data in user and 3GB of
data in root; was removed by `guix gc --delete-generations`. ☺

Good! I’m closing this bug now, but do reopen it if you think there are
other things we should do.
