If FreePascal and Lazarus of the correct version are available in the standard repository (i.e. you don't have to specify a non-default stream of a module to get the correct version), you do not need to specify them explicitly in the module definition.
Thanks!
Just another question: what about if I need to use different .specfiles for different Fedora releases? For example, if FreePascal is upgraded in F29 and not in F28 I may need to patch Skychart sources differently for F29 and F28...
It depends on the case. It *might* be an example of when you might decide that it's better to standardize on one version of FreePascal as a dependency and make it a module. So if you wanted to standardize on the upgraded version, you would create a FreePascal module stream for F28 of the newer version and have your Skychart module require the newer one there. Then you only have to maintain support for one of them.
