Subject: prevent gc of texlive-...-texmf.tar.xz

Hi,
I have limited space on my root file system, and therefore need to
run 'guix gc' regularly. One problem with that is that the texlive
source package (currently
/gnu/store/mj40l554qxw15acz0h018gk5c9mxzfgn-texlive-20180414-texmf.tar.xz)
regularly gets deleted that way. When I upgrade after running guix
gc, I often find I need to download this very large (2.5G) tarball
again.
How do I add a gc root for this tarball (or is that a bad idea)? I
tried 'guix build texlive --source --root ...', but I get a warning
'package texlive has no source'.
All ideas are welcome!
Thomas
