Hello,
Matthew Brooks <matthewfbrooks@mailbox.org> skribis:
> Is there any recommended way to have guix gc only delete packages that aren't required to build anything?
To complement what others say, I use a low-tech but good enough
approach, which is to GC just as much as I need, e.g., by running
“guix gc -F80G” once in a while.
The store items to be deleted are chosen at random but overall it works
well for me.
