Hi Yuji,

The --sandbox option is used to specify the sandbox location. I want my sandbox to be in ./.cabal-sandbox, i.e. the default location.

To clarify, I want to be able to create multiple independent sandboxes, that take advantage of the packages installed in $HOME/.cabal, just like how they take advantage of the system-wide install packages.

Hi Aldo,

Maybe what you want to do is "cabal sandbox init --sandbox=$HOME/.cabal/lib/".

Specify "--sandbox=" option.

Hi all,

There are some packages that I use again and again and I would like to install them once (but not in a system-wide location) and then have cabal sandboxes use that install, instead of installing them in every sandbox, which is time consuming. Is there a way do that? For example, I noticed that cabal, when operating inside a sandbox, can still find the packages installed system-wide, but not the ones in $HOME/.cabal/lib. Can I change that?

Thanks
