Dear all,

I need to keep the project root clean from build artifact, how I can tell DUB to store the '.dub' directory in a sibling directory of my project root directory?

Thank

This is currently not possible afaik. What is your exact use case? You may have a build script which either delete .dub after a build or copy the whole project folder to a temp directory, build the project and copy the binary to a specified location.

Kind regards

I can use a workaround, but that's a pity, it is a very basic functionality for a build system.

Thank you
