Hello Guix!

I would like to report that "guix pull --delete-generations" is missing
and its absence can be considered as a bug.

Due to this, users cannot straight-forwardly delete guix pull
generations and garbage collect them via guix gc. This causes too much
accumulation of generations and its files in the storage.

I request the admin to set the severity and priority of this bug to
"high".

Thank you!

Regards,
RG.

“guix pull” uses a regular profile at ~/.config/guix/current, so you can
do “guix package -p ~/.config/guix/current --delete-generations”

Thanks Ricardo! I am aware of this as someone suggested this on IRC. ☺.
My concern is that there is "guix system delete-generations" and "guix
package --delete-generations"; but not "guix pull --delete-
generations".

Bringing "guix pull --delete-generations" will be straight-forward and
any user does not have to type profile path everytime they delete
generations. Will also be intutive for new guix users. ☺

Regards,
RG.

Note that there’s also ‘guix gc --delete-generations’, which is really
what newcomers should be using IMO because it operates on all the user’s
profiles.

That said, I think a patch that adds ‘--delete-generations’ to ‘guix
pull’ would also be welcome.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Thanks! Does `guix gc --delete-generations` delete guix pull generations as well?

True :)

Good catch!  This bug should now be fixed by

Could you check if it works for you?

Thanks,

Thank you very much. It worked. Phew! 5GB of data in user and 3GB of
data in root; was removed by `guix gc --delete-generations`. ☺

Good!  I’m closing this bug now, but do reopen it if you think there are
other things we should do.
