It further mentions that when find_package is used in “Module” mode that the “Find<package>.cmake” script is responsible for verifying the version. However, it doesn’t seem to document that the version variables are defined for “Module” mode as <package>_FIND_*, e.g. PACKAGE_FIND_VERSION for a package name FooBar would be passed to the FindFooBar.cmake as FooBar_FIND_VERSION, and so on.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(I have not dealt with “Config” mode for find_package, so perhaps I’m mistaken about the naming there.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Anyway, I think the documentation should be updated to reflect those variables, and I’d be happy to do that, so long as I am not missing this being documented elsewhere.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Am I correct in this point?
