cabal-rpm: RPM packaging tool for Haskell Cabal-based packages
This package provides a RPM packaging tool for Haskell Cabal-based packages.
cblrpm has commands to generate a RPM spec file and srpm for a package. It can rpmbuild packages, yum/dnf install their dependencies, prep packages, and install them. There are commands to list package dependencies and missing dependencies. The diff command compares the current spec file with a freshly generated one and the update command updates the spec file to latest version from Hackage.

Readme for cabal-rpm-0.9.6
[back to package description]
cabal-rpm
cabal-rpm is a tool for RPM packaging of Haskell Cabal-based packages. It interacts with yum/dnf to install build dependencies and can also act as a cabal-install wrapper installing dependencies packaged in Fedora before running "cabal install".
Cabal-rpm was originally created by Bryan O'Sullivan (see README.orig) but has since been updated to work with current Cabal and Fedora Packaging Guidelines replacing cabal2spec. It is used by Fedora and OpenSuSE. It is licensed under the terms of the GPL version 3 (see the COPYING file).
You can build from source as normal by running cabal install
or via Hackage with cabal install cabal-rpm.
Requirements
cabal-rpm assumes you are using ghc-rpm-macros for Haskell RPM packaging. It currently needs Cabal 1.10 or later to build (ie ghc7), but it should not be hard to patch it to build at least for ghc-6.12.
Installation
The package is on Hackage. If you have cabal-install (part of Haskell Platform) you can install simply with
$ cabal install cabal-rpm
Usage
To create a .spec file for a Haskell src package in the current dir:
$ cblrpm spec
or directly on a .cabal file:
$ cblrpm spec path/to/mypkg.cabal
or on a package source dir:
$ cblrpm spec mypkg-0.1
You can also package directly from hackage:
$ cblrpm srpm somepkg
or
$ cblrpm local somepkg-0.1
will unpack the (latest) 'somepkg' package from hackage (if the dir does not exist, otherwise it uses the existing dir), create a spec file for it, and build it.
cblrpm creates .spec files in the current dir
and if a .spec file already exists it will append .cblrpm
to the generated filename to avoid overwriting an existing file.
$ cblrpm install [pkg][-ver]
will yum/dnf install available missing dependencies and run "cabal install" to build the package.
Development
The latest source code is available from: https://github.com/juhp/cabal-rpm
Plans
More features are planned and patches welcome. See the TODO file for more details.
