* Find: find_package prefers variable CMAKE_FIND_USE_REGISTRYRobert Maynard2019-07-091-2/+7
| | | | | | CMake's find control flags should all have a consistent name. To make this happen we are introducing `CMAKE_FIND_USE_REGISTRY` and deprecating `CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY`.

* export: Disable PACKAGE mode user package registry by defaultRobert Maynard2019-03-151-6/+11
| | | | | | | The user package registry populated by the `export()` command causes side effects outside the build and source directories. Such effects should be opt-in rather than op-out. Introduce a policy to change default behavior of `export(PACKAGE)` to do nothing.

* Help: Update discussion of relocable packages in cmake-packages(7)Brad King2015-04-031-20/+46
| | | | | | | | | | Explain at the beginning of the section the requirements for a package to be relocatable to justify the rest of the section content. Generalize example to use fictional package names instead of real ones, especially because FindBoost provides no alternative yet. Reword the discussion to represent the preferred approach as "ideal" but also suggest workarounds when find modules do not provide the imported targets.
* Help: Reorganize and refine discussion of relocatable packagesBrad King2015-04-031-70/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re-organize the content added to the cmake-packages(7) manual by * commit v3.0.0-rc1~184^2 (Help: Document export(EXPORT) in the cmake-packages manual, 2013-12-23), * commit v3.0.0-rc1~154^2~1 (Help: Add notes about relocatability of config-file packages, 2014-01-07), and * commit v3.2.0-rc1~345^2 (Help: Warn that paths should not be used in INTERFACE_ build properties, 2014-11-22). These commits broke the natural flow of the original manual and made wording after the new content make less sense. Move the content into new subsections to restore the flow of the original manual and to make explicitly the purpose of the new content. Shorten the relocatable usage requirement "warnings". Refer to the new cmake-packages(7) manual subsection to reduce duplication. Also clarify the distinction between paths to library dependencies and paths to their header files.

* Help: Fix syntax in non-relocatable usage requirements exampleBrad King2015-04-031-4/+4
| | | | | The example in cmake-packages(7) is meant to be incorrect for use of absolute paths, not for its syntax.

* Revert "Help: Update cmake-packages.7 examples to import targets only once"Brad King2014-07-151-11/+4
| | | | | | This reverts commit cfab942e5ff8463f8053564e68179da110280b43. Since commit v2.8.11~362^2 (Generate an early-return guard in target Export files, 2012-11-30) an external include guard is not needed.
* Help: Update cmake-packages.7 examples to import targets only onceBrad King2014-07-091-4/+11
| | | | | | Package configuration files should load their targets files at most once in a given scope. Update our ClimbingStats example to show how to do this.
* Allow the Package Registry to be disabled (#14849)Daniele E. Domenichelli2014-05-121-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a project is packaged for redistribution the local package registries should not be updated or consulted. They are for developers. Add variables to disable use of package registries globally: * CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the export(PACKAGE) command * CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the User Package Registry in all the find_package calls. * CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the System Package Registry in all the find_package calls. Update documentation and unit tests.
* Help: Document the package registry in cmake-packages.7Brad King2014-02-171-0/+129

| | | | | | | There is not really any need to. Downstreams can either rely on it being provided by CMake, or copy and distribute it. Change the documented include for the find_dependency macro.
