They “need” to be downloaded again only if you want to rebuild them, yet without adding them to a profile or making them a GC root. :-) When needed, you can explicitly protect things from GC using profiles, or using ‘guix build -r’.

This does not directly address your original question, but you should consider running a substitutes mirror locally. I do this, and it speeds things up considerably. Of course, in its default configuration, the mirror only mirrors things that ultimately come from hydra.gnu.org. If interested, clone the 'maintenance' repo [0] and adapt the file 'hydra/nginx/mirror.conf' to your needs. [0] https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=guix

This would remove much too much :-) I have quite some package to work on, including those with patches pending for inclusion. The dependencies of these packages are not in a profile (yet). Now when running `guix gc`, many packages need to be downloaded again a few minutes later. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |

If you want to check for determinism, you can simply run this instead: guix build foo --check In other cases, it’s enough to run, say: guix gc -F 5G once in a while to make sure that you have 5 GiB free on your disk.

How to remove old (test) builds from store?
Hi, when creating packages and refining the build step by step, I end up with many entries in the store I do not need. When tying to delete them, only a few are removed and many are kept. E.g: # guix gc -d /gnu/store/*teensy* finding garbage collector roots... deleting `/gnu/store/…-teensy-loader-cli-2.1-1.f289b7a.drv' deleting `/gnu/store/…-teensy-loader-cli-2.1-1.f289b7a.tar.xz.drv' guix gc: error: build failed: cannot delete path `/gnu/store/…-teensy-loader-cli-2.1-1.f289b7a.tar.gz.drv' since it is still alive $ ls -d /gnu/store/*teensy* | wc -l 35 The one still alive if okay, since I have an older version of this package installed in my current environment. How do I get rid of these ca. 30 outdated store items? -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
