.TH CBLRPM 1 "2013\-01\-21" 
.SH NAME
.PP
cblrpm \- generates RPM .spec files from Cabal packages
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
cblrpm [\f[I]options\f[]] spec [\f[I]path\-or\-pkg\f[]] cblrpm
[\f[I]options\f[]] build [\f[I]path\-or\-pkg\f[]] cblrpm
[\f[I]options\f[]] srpm [\f[I]path\-or\-pkg\f[]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
cblrpm generates RPM .spec files from Haskell Cabal package.
.PP
If no \f[I]path\-or\-pkg\f[] is specified, cblrpm 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 cblrpm will try to unpack the package and use its .cabal
file.
cblrpm uses a temporary directory for unpackaging tarballs or packages.
.PP
cblrpm 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, cblrpm output to .spec.cblrpm instead.
.PP
The cblrpm\-diff command can be used in the same way to output a diff of
.spec and .spec.cblrpm directly.
