Hi Henrik,
Am I right in thinking that nothing has changed on this front? I just tried
to use depends with a custom test and it did not seem to have any effect (on
Xymon 4.3.7)...

I looked at using the "depends" tag, but it appears that *depends only
works for network checks*.
Agreed. The dependency checks are currently implemented in the network
test tool (bbtest-net), instead of in the hobbitd daemon - that is the
reason why they only work for network tests. And that is purely for
historical reasons.
I expect to move all of the dependency code into hobbitd soon, together
with the combination-test handling (the stuff currenly done by
bbcombotest), that will eliminate this rather silly restriction.

Are the above limitations been removed in the current snapshot?
If not when is this going to be implemented?
Thanks.
