I'd like to move where dub has stored packages to a shorter path, is there a procedure for this?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe the custom cache paths could help you here:
https://dub.pm/settings.html

Or you can set the environment variables before calling dub. The actual environment variables depends on your operation system.

Please see here:
https://github.com/dlang/dub/blob/master/source/dub/dub.d#L272

I don't think those options change where dub saves newly downloaded packages but it's good to know the options available.

Thanks for the help!

I use the second approach in a build script to change the location where dub saves new packages. Works fine.
