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.

Oleg.
