Hello,

Pierre Neidhardt <mail@ambrevar.xyz> skribis:

> Is there a way to find which GC root causes the item to be live?

Not yet!  You could do it manually roughly by (1) listing the referrers
of the store item, recursively, and (2) finding the symlinks in
/var/guix/gcroots that point to one of these.

We should add this to ‘guix gc’.
