# CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY

New in version 3.1.

Disable the `export(PACKAGE)` command when `CMP0090` is not set to `NEW`.

In some cases, for example for packaging and for system wide installations, it is not desirable to write the user package registry. If the `CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY` variable is enabled, the `export(PACKAGE)` command will do nothing.

If `CMP0090` is set to `NEW` this variable does nothing, and the `CMAKE_EXPORT_PACKAGE_REGISTRY` variable controls the behavior instead.
