+Subject: [PATCH] Fix CMake export files (#1077)
+
+After configuring the file `yaml-cpp-config.cmake.in`, the result ends up with
+empty variables.  (see also the discussion in #774).
+
+Rework this file and the call to `configure_package_config_file` according the
+cmake documentation
+(https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.22/module/CMakePackageConfigHelpers.html?highlight=configure_package_config#command:configure_package_config_file)
+to overcome this issue and allow a simple `find_package` after install.
+
+As there was some discussion about the place where to install the
+`yaml-cpp-config.cmake` file, e.g. #1055, factor out the install location into
+an extra variable to make it easier changing this location in the future.
+
+Also untabify CMakeLists.txt in some places to align with the other code parts in this file.
