.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
cabal-rpm generates RPM packages and .spec files from Haskell Cabal
package.
.PP
If no \f[I]path-or-pkg\f[R] is specified, cabal-rpm looks for a .spec or
\&.cabal file in the current directory.
Otherwise, it will look for \f[I]path-or-pkg\f[R].
If the argument is a directory then it will look there for a .spec or
\&.cabal file.
If the argument is a path to a .cabal file then it will use it.
Otherwise if there is no `/' in the argument and it does not exist then
cabal-rpm will try to unpack the package and use its .cabal file.
cabal-rpm uses a temporary directory for unpackaging tarballs or
packages.
cabal-rpm then parses the .cabal file and uses it to generate a .spec
file that can be built.
.PP
If a .spec already exists, cabal-rpm outputs to .spec.cblrpm instead.
