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)...

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.

Regards, Henrik

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

Thanks.

Was this ever answered? I see I asked the same question again having
missed this question just a month prior.

Thanks.
