Create RPM Package with Ubuntu
Question by Guest | 2016-06-26 at 15:40
Up to now, I have only created Debian packages using dpkg on my Linux system (Ubuntu) for publishing my little tools and applications. Now, I wonder whether it could also be possible to create RPM packages on the same way.
However, as far as I know, Ubuntu is a Debian distribution and not Red Hat. Is it nevertheless possible to use Ubuntu for the development? Or do I have to use one of the Red Hat distributions such as SUSE or Mandriva?
Namely, rpmbuild seems not to be installed on my computer. Nevertheless, I would prefer to do all developing work only on one computer instead of setting up another system.
