cabal-rpm [options] depends [path-or-pkg]
cabal-rpm [options] requires [path-or-pkg]

cabal-rpm [options] refresh [path-or-pkg]
Description
cabal-rpm generates RPM packages and .spec files from Haskell Cabal package.
If no path-or-pkg is specified, cabal-rpm looks for a .spec or .cabal file in the current directory. Otherwise, it will look for path-or-pkg. 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.
If a .spec already exists, cabal-rpm outputs to .spec.cblrpm instead.
Options
- -h, –help
Show the help text.
- -b, –binary
Force the base package name to be the Hackage package name.
- -f FLAGS, –flags=FLAGS
Override one or more Cabal build configuration flags.
- –force
overwrite existing spec file
- –missing
comment out unavailable BuildRequires deps
- –release=RELEASE
Override the release number in the .spec file.
- –standalone
create a standalone package, built using cabal-install
- -s STREAM , –stream=STREAM
Stackage stream (eg lts-13) or `hackage' used to get package version.
- -v N, –verbose=N
Set verbosity to N.
- –version=VERSION
Override the version number in the .spec file.
Examples
Below CMD can be one of: spec, srpm, prep, local, install, diff, builddep, depends, requires, missingdeps, update, refresh
Do CMD for the package in current directory:
cabal-rpm CMD
Do CMD for package (directory or package name):
cabal-rpm CMD [package]
Do CMD for package-version (directory or package name):
cabal-rpm CMD [package-version]
Do CMD on a .cabal file:
cabal-rpm CMD path/to/some.cabal
History
Cabal-rpm was originally written by Bryan O’Sullivan in 2007-2008 and resurrected by Jens Petersen in 2012 to replace cabal2spec.
