Look at dependency as things(services and configuration files) needed for your new service to run. So your service will need to have dependency on networking milestone, at the minimum. Does it make sense for any other service to depend on your service? That is, if your service fails, should the system still be operation(other services can still run)? If any service requires that your new service be online to be operation, then that service will need to have a dependency on your service. Hope that helps. -tony > Assume that it pretty much needs the full network stack working. > > Should our service depend on milestone/multi-user-server? > Should milestone/multi-user-server depend on our service? > > If the answer is that m-u-s should depend on our service, what should > our service depend on?
