Eh? jbj has confirmed on multiple occasions that there is NO DIFFERENCE between PreReq and Requires.
Prereqs are different from requires only in that a PreReq is guaranteed to be installed before the package that contains the PreReq. PreReq's are used only to order packages, otherwise PreReq's are exactly the same as a Requires: dependency.
Yep. In my experience, at least for FC2 (and most earlier releases) that both Prereq and Requires(post) *does* make the Prereq'd item get installed first.
