Bug Description

It's now possible to have a dependency on a blueprint in another project.

However, it's not possible to find that blueprint using the picker on the
"Add dependency" page.

This makes it undiscoverable, and hard to know how to use the feature even if
you know it exists.

Obviously care needs to be taken to show useful results.

Thanks,

James

I thought we explicitly excluded blueprints from different pillars? Anyhow, marking low for now as blueprints is used by a very small fraction of our users.

When setting a dependency?

If it was explicitly excluded then we removed it, as it is important for
Linaro.

Thanks,

James W. escalated this on the stakeholders list. Tentatively putting on the maintenance squad hit list, in case there is a easy solution.

According to the code, and tested on qastaging, you can do this now, as long as you enter the full URL of the specification.

I'm looking at extending the vocabulary so it works naturally.

I made a new blueprint on qastaging in linaro and linked it outside the linaro context.
