When running something like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix build hello --with-configure-flag=hello=foo=bar --keep-failed
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and hitting ^C during the `build' phase, the guix-daemon leaves
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo ls -ld /tmp/guix-build-hello-2.12.2.drv-0 /tmp/guix-build-hello-2.12.2.drv-0/top
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jun 28 10:04 /tmp/guix-build-hello-2.12.2.drv-0
drwxr-xr-x 3 guixbuilder01 guixbuild 4096 Jun 28 10:04 /tmp/guix-build-hello-2.12.2.drv-0/top
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is after updating my system yesterday to guix-1.4.0-39. The
guix-daemon is running as root, so without using (privileged? #f).
Note that I have not been able to reproduce this when interrupting the
build during the `configure' phase. It also does not reproduce when
the build breaks by itself, e.g., when running something like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix build hello --with-configure-flag=hello=CFLAGS=-Dparse_options=main --keep-failed
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
the build tree is owned by janneke.
Details and build log attached (I hope...).
Greetings,
Janneke

I'm gettting either

I've tried for Repo, amongst others: C-c C-r guix, guix/guix,
codeberg.org/guix/guix, https://codeberg.org/guix/guix. Help much
appreciated. Also, an unsuccesful submit: C-c C-c, kills the buffer as
I found out after crafting it the first time. Emacs should *never* do
that, losing text is one of the main reasons I avoid using a browser!
