I've got a branch of Cabal that adds a new command, "rpm", that lets you build an RPM package with a single invocation: runhaskell Setup.*hs rpm I've tested this pretty extensively with GHC 6.6, and I'm quite happy with it, but if there are other users of RPM-based distros out there, I'd appreciate it if you could kick the tyres a bit. Once it's in solid shape, I hope to plug this capability into Hackage so that there will automatically be fresh RPM packages available for Linux distributions such as Fedora. See the brief writeup here: http://www.serpentine.com/blog/2007/02/20/haskell-cabal-now-with-extra-crunc... Cheers,
