Subject: What is Guix garbage collector root aka gc root
Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2017 16:19:54 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87efsfbo5h.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello Guix,
I'm trying to understand what is “garbage collector root” aka “gc root”.
1. Is “$HOME/.guix-profile” a “gc root”?
2. I need to build a package, but don't install it. Just preserve it
for offloading. Is “guix build --root=$HOME/.guix-profile PACKAGE” (run
as non root user) what I want? Or if not, what FILE in “--root=FILE” do
I need to pass?
Thanks.

Best regards,
Oleg.
