I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole thing so bear with me. I was qu= ite puzzled by the Schema at first, coming from C/Python here, but after a = couple of days I'm doing some serious hacking by adding new packages to loc= al guix checkout..=20 I have checked out git tree and managed to get development going - I can se= e stuff appear in the store!! For some reason I started getting gc errors as these: hinxx@obzen ~/guix/guix.git [dev]$ ./pre-inst-env guix gc --list-dead finding garbage collector roots... guix gc: error: build failed: program `/gnu/store/pii5cimi72lj5l7793h54g5sg= 0sr2apl-guix-0.14.0/libexec/guix/list-runtime-roots' failed with exit code = 1 I was removing some stale entries as per manual. A general question, should I worry about all the builds of the package in s= tore for the one I'm developing? Thank you in advance, Hinko
