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:

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

Please see here:

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.
