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.
