This policy +provides compatibility with projects that have not been updated to avoid using +``PackageName_ROOT`` variables for other purposes. + +The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to ignore ``PackageName_ROOT`` +variables. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to use ``PackageName_ROOT`` +variables. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.12. CMake version +|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. +Use the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` +explicitly. + +.. include:: DEPRECATED.txt |
