I agree, its something I've been wanting to do for some time.
*It would be nice if the depend tag worked for any column/test type*. 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.
