*EDIT: For now this only deletes old cached downloads, not build artifacts. Thanks epage for the correction below.
- vlovich123 1y agoThat’s as an additional flag and not the default?
- mbrubeck 1y agoIn versions earlier than 1.88, garbage collection required the unstable -Zgc flag (and a nightly toolchain). But in 1.88 and later, automatic garbage collection is enabled by default.
- epage 1y agoThat is not for build artifacts but global caches like for `.crate` files but its a stepping stone.
- mbrubeck 1y agoOops, thanks for the correction.
