Thanks for the link. Seems nice, but it expects a working sandbox on the proper place.
I'm syncing and backing up, so sandboxes are on the wrong places.

I made a small bash script to update the sandbox to its current location.
If someone needs such a functionality, it is attached.
However, please use it first on a **copy**. It is not thoroughly tested.

This project seems to do what you want (I didn't test it):
https://github.com/philopon/sandbox-move

Although I think it would be better to have relative file paths in cabal.sandbox.config...

There is no way to move the project to a different place without recreating the whole sandbox.

It would be nice if there were a tool to do this. It should not be difficult to programmatically adjust those paths and the ones in the ghc package directory, and reindex the latter.
