Readme for cabal2spec-2.8.0

[back to package description]

cabal2spec

The cabal2spec utility converts a given Cabal file into an RPM spec file that builds that package with the RPM package manager. This tool is used to generate various Haskell package sets for the SUSE and openSUSE familiy of distributions. Plenty of examples for generated spec files can be found in the openSUSE Haskell development project.
