There is no manpage for `cblrepo` yet.  Hopefully you can find out
what you need between the built-in help and the text on
https://github.com/archhaskell/habs/ and
https://github.com/archhaskell/habs/.

You should almost always build using the script in habs, and then all
packages will be built using [haskell-core] to get any dependencies.

The text you refer to is "-l <dir>    Location of chroot (default .)".
 This argument allows you to point out where your chroot is.  I always
run the script in my habs workspace, and keep my chroot in `~/tmp`,
i.e. I use `./makeahpkg -l ~/tmp`.
