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

<div>Hi Aldo,
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe what you want to do is "cabal sandbox init --sandbox=$HOME/.cabal/lib/".</div>
<div>Specify "--sandbox=" option.</div>

<br/>
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?<br/>
<br/>
Thanks<br/>
