+CMAKE_EXPORT_PACKAGE_REGISTRY
+-----------------------------
+
+Enables the :command:`export(PACKAGE)` command when :policy:`CMP0090`
+is set to ``NEW``.
+
+The :command:`export(PACKAGE)` command does nothing by default. In some cases
+it is desirable to write to the user package registry, so the
+``CMAKE_EXPORT_PACKAGE_REGISTRY`` variable may be set to enable it.
+
+If :policy:`CMP0090` is *not* set to ``NEW`` this variable does nothing, and
+the :variable:`CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY` variable controls the behavior
+instead.
+
+See also :ref:`Disabling the Package Registry`.
