DESCRIPTION

23       cabal-rpm  generates  RPM  packages  and .spec files from Haskell Cabal
24       package.
25
26       If no path-or-pkg is specified, cabal-rpm looks for a .spec  or  .cabal
27       file  in  the  current directory.  Otherwise, it will look for path-or-
28       pkg.  If the argument is a directory then it  will  look  there  for  a
29       .spec  or .cabal file.  If the argument is a path to a .cabal file then
30       it will use it.  Otherwise if there is no `/' in the  argument  and  it
31       does  not  exist  then cabal-rpm will try to unpack the package and use
32       its .cabal file.  cabal-rpm uses a temporary directory for  unpackaging
33       tarballs  or  packages.  cabal-rpm then parses the .cabal file and uses
34       it to generate a .spec file that can be built.
35
36       If a .spec already exists, cabal-rpm outputs to .spec.cblrpm instead.
