Hello,
I recently added a systemd timer to run ‘guix gc’ once a day on the guixp9 CI
machine. This patch adds files similar to the ones I used there, and documents
them. The only differences are that on guixp9 the command-line used is
“guix gc -F 50G” and the timer is set to fire daily rather than weekly.
Thanks,
Thiago
