Have you seen cabal2rpm? It's an external tool with a similar goal: http://community.moertel.com/ss/space/Cabal2rpm/cabal2rpm.html Similarly, there's dh_haskell for Debian packages: http://man.cx/dh_haskell(1) Can you outline any other differences between this command and cabal2rpm? This seems like really cool work, but what do folks think about adding OS-specific items like this to Cabal. My stance has been that we should keep such tools external to Cabal, layered on top of Cabal so as to not clutter Cabal too much, and to make Cabal's interface to the outside world as good as possible. peace, isaac
