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.

-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.

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

Cabal-rpm was originally written by Bryan O’Sullivan in 2007-2008 and resurrected by Jens Petersen in 2012 to replace cabal2spec.
