Hello Guix,

I'm trying to understand what is =E2=80=9Cgarbage collector root=E2=80=9D a=
ka =E2=80=9Cgc root=E2=80=9D.

1. Is =E2=80=9C$HOME/.guix-profile=E2=80=9D a =E2=80=9Cgc root=E2=80=9D?

2. I need to build a package, but don't install it.  Just preserve it
for offloading.  Is =E2=80=9Cguix build --root=3D$HOME/.guix-profile PACKAG=
E=E2=80=9D (run
as non root user) what I want?  Or if not, what FILE in =E2=80=9C--root=3DF=
ILE=E2=80=9D do
I need to pass?

Thanks.

Oleg.
