Hi
I would like to make a patch for this if somebody is willing to mentor me.
The idea is
* removing symlinks-procedure
* argument to remove x old generations.
o ex guix system remove-generation --keep-2
this would remove all system generations besides the latest 2.
* warning if user tries to remove so that less than 2 genererations
resides
* hinting to run guix gc
--
Cheers
Swedebugia
