Installs signed precompiled builds of the dependencies Mix is about to
compile, and rechecks the ones installed earlier. Not meant to be run by
hand: add it to the project's deps.loadpaths alias, which every
mix compile, test, run and release passes through before Mix
compiles the dependencies:
def project do
[
...,
aliases: [
"deps.loadpaths": ["deps.compile precompiled", "precompiled.deps", "deps.loadpaths"]
]
]
endThe first entry compiles this library so the task exists; without it
Mix would compile every dependency first. In an umbrella the alias goes
in the root mix.exs. Does nothing without
config :precompiled, source: ... or PRECOMPILED_SOURCE.
mix igniter.install precompiled writes the alias and the config
(Elixir 1.18+, not in an umbrella).
mix do clean --deps + compile installs twice: clean loads paths
first, which runs the alias once before it deletes _build, and the
compile after it installs again. The result is correct, just one install
slower.
