.SH NAME
.PP
cabal-rpm - generates RPM .spec files from Cabal packages
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
cabal-rpm [\f[I]options\f[]] [\f[I]path-or-pkg\f[]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Cabal-rpm generates RPM .spec files from Haskell Cabal package.
.PP
If no \f[I]path-or-pkg\f[] is specified, cabal-rpm looks for a .cabal
file in the current directory.
Otherwise, it will look for \f[I]path-or-pkg\f[].
If the argument is a directory then it will look there for a .cabal
file.
If the argument is a path to a .cabal or .tar.gz file then it will use
it.
Otherwise if there is no \[aq]/\[aq] 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.
.PP
Cabal-rpm then parses the above specified .cabal file and uses it to
generate a .spec file that can be built.
.PP
If a .spec already exists, cabal-rpm output to .spec.cblrpm instead.
.PP
The cabal-rpm-diff command can be used in the same way to output a diff
of .spec and .spec.cblrpm directly.
