In most cases, yes. The only time you need to include them in the module definition file is if you explicitly need a *different* version of your dependencies than what would show up in the standard repos. (E.g. Fedora 29 will ship Node.js 10.x by default, but the application you are packaging requires Node.js 8.x or older, so you would add a buildrequires to the module to tell it your module stream also relies on a non-default stream of Node.js. > For example, I would like to build a module for Skychart; Skychart needs > FreePascal and Lazarus as buildrequires; should I also add them to > module definition as build dependencies?
