No.
"Requires" and "BuildRequires" are independent of each other.
In other words: "Requires" and "BuildRequires" define two sets of packages where the intersecting set is usually non-empty but usually none is a superset of the other.
This is only true for the direct package dependencies. But indirect requires are of course pulled. Eg. Package A BuildRequires B which Requires C C is of course installed when package A is built. -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
