+
+When a call is made to :command:`find_package` or
+:command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`, the call may be forwarded to a
+dependency provider which then has the opportunity to fulfill the request.
+If the request is for one of the ``<methods>`` specified when the provider
+was set, CMake calls the provider's ``<command>`` with a set of
+method-specific arguments.  If the provider does not fulfill the request,
+or if the provider doesn't support the request's method, or no provider
+is set, the built-in :command:`find_package` or
+:command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` implementation is used to fulfill
+the request in the usual way.
+
+One or more of the following values can be specified for the ``<methods>``
+when setting the provider:
+
+``FIND_PACKAGE``
+  The provider command accepts :command:`find_package` requests.
+
+``FETCHCONTENT_MAKEAVAILABLE_SERIAL``
+  The provider command accepts :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`
+  requests.  It expects each dependency to be fed to the provider command
+  one at a time, not the whole list in one go.
+
+Only one provider can be set at any point in time.  If a provider is already
+set when ``cmake_language(SET_DEPENDENCY_PROVIDER)`` is called, the new
+provider replaces the previously set one.  The specified ``<command>`` must
+already exist when ``cmake_language(SET_DEPENDENCY_PROVIDER)`` is called.
+As a special case, providing an empty string for the ``<command>`` and no
+``<methods>`` will discard any previously set provider.
+
+The dependency provider can only be set while processing one of the files
+specified by the :variable:`CMAKE_PROJECT_TOP_LEVEL_INCLUDES` variable.
+Thus, dependency providers can only be set as part of the first call to
+:command:`project`.  Calling ``cmake_language(SET_DEPENDENCY_PROVIDER)``
+outside of that context will result in an error.
+
+.. note::
+  The choice of dependency provider should always be under the user's control.
+  As a convenience, a project may choose to provide a file that users can
+  list in their :variable:`CMAKE_PROJECT_TOP_LEVEL_INCLUDES` variable, but
+  the use of such a file should always be the user's choice.
+
+Provider commands
+"""""""""""""""""
+
+Providers define a single ``<command>`` to accept requests.  The name of
+the command should be specific to that provider, not something overly
+generic that another provider might also use.  This enables users to compose
+different providers in their own custom provider.  The recommended form is
+``xxx_provide_dependency()``, where ``xxx`` is the provider-specific part
+(e.g. ``vcpkg_provide_dependency()``, ``conan_provide_dependency()``,
+``ourcompany_provide_dependency()``, and so on).
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  xxx_provide_dependency(<method> [<method-specific-args>...])
+
+Because some methods expect certain variables to be set in the calling scope,
+the provider command should typically be implemented as a macro rather than a
+function.  This ensures it does not introduce a new variable scope.
+
+The arguments CMake passes to the dependency provider depend on the type of
+request.  The first argument is always the method, and it will only ever
+be one of the ``<methods>`` that was specified when setting the provider.
+
+``FIND_PACKAGE``
+  The ``<method-specific-args>`` will be everything passed to the
+  :command:`find_package` call that requested the dependency.  The first of
+  these ``<method-specific-args>`` will therefore always be the name of the
+  dependency.  Dependency names are case-sensitive for this method because
+  :command:`find_package` treats them case-sensitively too.
+
+  If the provider command fulfills the request, it must set the same variable
+  that :command:`find_package` expects to be set.  For a dependency named
+  ``depName``, the provider must set ``depName_FOUND`` to true if it fulfilled
+  the request.  If the provider returns without setting this variable, CMake
+  will assume the request was not fulfilled and will fall back to the
+  built-in implementation.
+
+  If the provider needs to call the built-in :command:`find_package`
+  implementation as part of its processing, it can do so by including the
+  ``BYPASS_PROVIDER`` keyword as one of the arguments.
+
+``FETCHCONTENT_MAKEAVAILABE_SERIAL``
+  The ``<method-specific-args>`` will be everything passed to the
+  :command:`FetchContent_Declare` call that corresponds to the requested
+  dependency, with the following exceptions:
+
+  * If ``SOURCE_DIR`` or ``BINARY_DIR`` were not part of the original
+    declared arguments, they will be added with their default values.
+  * If :variable:`FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE` is set to ``NEVER``,
+    any ``FIND_PACKAGE_ARGS`` will be omitted.
+  * The ``OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE`` keyword is always omitted.
+
+  The first of the ``<method-specific-args>`` will always be the name of the
+  dependency.  Dependency names are case-insensitive for this method because
+  :module:`FetchContent` also treats them case-insensitively.
+
+  If the provider fulfills the request, it should call
+  :command:`FetchContent_SetPopulated`, passing the name of the dependency as
+  the first argument.  The ``SOURCE_DIR`` and ``BINARY_DIR`` arguments to that
+  command should only be given if the provider makes the dependency's source
+  and build directories available in exactly the same way as the built-in
+  :command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` command.
+
+  If the provider returns without calling :command:`FetchContent_SetPopulated`
+  for the named dependency, CMake will assume the request was not fulfilled
+  and will fall back to the built-in implementation.
+
+  Note that empty arguments may be significant for this method (e.g. an empty
+  string following a ``GIT_SUBMODULES`` keyword).  Therefore, if forwarding
+  these arguments on to another command, extra care must be taken to avoid such
+  arguments being silently dropped.
+
+  If ``FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_<uppercaseDepName>`` is set, then the
+  dependency provider will never see requests for the ``<depName>`` dependency
+  for this method. When the user sets such a variable, they are explicitly
+  overriding where to get that dependency from and are taking on the
+  responsibility that their overriding version meets any requirements for that
+  dependency and is compatible with whatever else in the project uses it.
+  Depending on the value of :variable:`FETCHCONTENT_TRY_FIND_PACKAGE_MODE`
+  and whether the ``OVERRIDE_FIND_PACKAGE`` option was given to
+  :command:`FetchContent_Declare`, having
+  ``FETCHCONTENT_SOURCE_DIR_<uppercaseDepName>`` set may also prevent the
+  dependency provider from seeing requests for a ``find_package(depName)``
+  call too.
+
+Provider Examples
+"""""""""""""""""
+
+This first example only intercepts :command:`find_package` calls.  The
+provider command runs an external tool which copies the relevant artifacts
+into a provider-specific directory, if that tool knows about the dependency.
+It then relies on the built-in implementation to then find those artifacts.
+:command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable` calls would not go through the provider.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+  :caption: mycomp_provider.cmake
+
+  # Always ensure we have the policy settings this provider expects
+  cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.24)
+
+  set(MYCOMP_PROVIDER_INSTALL_DIR ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/mycomp_packages
+    CACHE PATH "The directory this provider installs packages to"
+  )
+  # Tell the built-in implementation to look in our area first, unless
+  # the find_package() call uses NO_..._PATH options to exclude it
+  list(APPEND CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${MYCOMP_PROVIDER_INSTALL_DIR}/cmake)
+  list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${MYCOMP_PROVIDER_INSTALL_DIR})
+
+  macro(mycomp_provide_dependency method package_name)
+    execute_process(
+      COMMAND some_tool ${package_name} --installdir ${MYCOMP_PROVIDER_INSTALL_DIR}
+      COMMAND_ERROR_IS_FATAL ANY
+    )
+  endmacro()
+
+  cmake_language(
+    SET_DEPENDENCY_PROVIDER mycomp_provide_dependency
+    SUPPORTED_METHODS FIND_PACKAGE
+  )
+
+The user would then typically use the above file like so::
+
+  cmake -DCMAKE_PROJECT_TOP_LEVEL_INCLUDES=/path/to/mycomp_provider.cmake ...
+
+The next example demonstrates a provider that accepts both methods, but
+only handles one specific dependency.  It enforces providing Google Test
+using :module:`FetchContent`, but leaves all other dependencies to be
+fulfilled by CMake's built-in implementation.  It accepts a few different
+names, which demonstrates one way of working around projects that hard-code
+an unusual or undesirable way of adding this particular dependency to the
+build.  The example also demonstrates how to use the :command:`list` command
+to preserve variables that may be overwritten by a call to
+:command:`FetchContent_MakeAvailable`.

+
