The links serve as additional ro= ots for the garbage collector, so if your remove them, more items from the stor= e can be collected, possibly a lot more items. On the other hand, those links sh= ould be automatically cleaned after some time by guix shell. So if you want to = do as thorough clean as possible, removing the links makes sense, but if you just= want to some light cleaning, you might very well leave it up to the guix shell. >=20 > Kind regards > Felix > W. --=20 There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors. --Tj/ElkgvA2yd35fn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEt4NJs4wUfTYpiGikL7/ufbZ/wakFAmSdQVAACgkQL7/ufbZ/ wak3JQ//TTOS1gYuKmEWVKTd/iUdDeKJchB/XxQb8c81J+gBchirLGeXSF7bPiGf KaLyMHKb+ZfRBkaj03lk3047vTp8+oLRYp17bvyXjBjQDBqbGyxpOBc03dZqeBF1 YwYWI/PUTIUW1qJ+lJUMTmsMl4ep22wV9K7QIv0kvZjwUcKSTM98Bjfa0vWRTY+l RkGwwNkcowtKtVm4LtMKvogdpfSufVVSYppGmMUcyOxSF5rUbk3hDNqqA8oyXV26 coZWOTyJfBw9QtbPL6bJlzGUwWbRSJKKwn9527cBO7wyaRTA5+vcYCii5r+PYN1+ OoUDIMPTIevR69lKAdInZ7kmbUBzII3r1Ii5X7O3C1OqVaJ6bgvsAIPELQ5dmS5y 4S/NbujjeShmM3aCzl2FAFsmw+bEgc8WipD2d5HjDV2yOOqmvOvFFpqgxZy/qlGn W2vTlnCz5C6MyiKTUTI6vk2zZJVNG/ja07cuaHdcF/4uPspGFOJDwUzzWX76wNSo iBgu+LJWEyqlMzqS/cIJHfx1yviFEAOiW/7pQv2V3oSnlJgeiH7y7N1vEUJGCP5u ebDQSfZphoolJm9uLjZ9e6HH713Z9Q5SbUVysYK1jOQ0pQqhw9roG6rHrUpBgXFV f8kmSiVscBY71NpYxPrBZeSmDpK146AYnIsHo2njgex1mvHFmmc= =S2HA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Tj/ElkgvA2yd35fn--
