Description

Hi,

The ability to depend on a specific variant of a port has often been sought for. It is now provided by means of the active_variant port group, but this is not documented in the guide.

It would be good to have:

  1. a mention of the fact in Sect. 5.3, (dependencies);
  2. complete documentation of the portgroup in 5.9 (portgroups).

Kind regards, Thibaut.

I think this is a duplicate, just a sec, let me check...

Edit: nvm, I was thinking of #36957 which is actually about something different... I think the connection I made between the two came from comment:ticket:126:54
