Packages with `__init()__` screws up PackageCompiler.jl?

General Usage

Cross-posted on PackageCompiler.jl.

I’m building binaries with PackageCompiler.create_app(), but I get an alarming warning message whenever a dependency has an __init()__ function that includes a @require block, exemplified by the following packages:

If I include these dependencies in my package, I get some alarming warning messages (although the app runs fine)

Is there anyway to suppress this warning message?

I came across this post which seem to suggest any package that uses Requires.@require cannot be compiled into an app (as of 2020). Then I saw this issue in 2022 which seems to have fixed this problem, but apparently not for my case.

Ultimately I created my own forks of these packages and commented out all the Requires.@require statements (adding/removing dependencies as needed) for my specific application to work.

Did you create bug reports for the packages you had to fork?
