I have a Docker-based Debian Sid build environment for Go. The build script of an is configured to build both .deb and .rpm.

The rpm build process of a component I wish to build requires though the tool rpmbuild.

Is it possible to install rpmbuild on Debian or should I better try another Linux distro?

Yes, you can install the rpm package which provides /usr/bin/rpmbuild.

Personally I prefer building my packages on the exact same OS as where the package will be installed to avoid dependency problems.
