How to always keep build tree when run guix build.

[Feng Shu]

Hello:

  How to always keep build tree when run guix build, at the moment, I 
use --keep-failed, but it will remove build tree when build success, the
problem is that build success alway not right build success :-), I need
go to build tree to check some thing.

Thanks!

You can add the `--cache-failures` option when starting the guix-daemon, which tells it to keep the build failures by default.
It's explained in more detail in the "Invoking guix-daemon" section of the Guix manual:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix_002ddaemon.html

'--cache-failures' keeps track of build failures and then refuses to
build that derivation again if it's already known to fail.  I don't
think there's something like '--keep-failed' for guix-daemon.

Thanks, but I want to a way to keep build tree wlways, no matter build fail or success.

I think the question was how to keep all build trees, including the build trees
from successful builds.

Have a nice day,
