I have a module with ` __precompile__ (false)`, and whenever I load it, I see this printed:

```julia
julia> using RossbyPlots
[Info: Precompiling RossbyPlots [acc5d94c-3556-452d-bda2-c31719193afc]
[Info: Skipping precompilation since __precompile__ (false). Importing RossbyPlots [acc5d94c-3556-452d-bda2-c31719193afc].

```

I don’t find any value in this info, so I wonder if there’s a way to prevent this from being displayed?

I agree, I also add ` __precompile__ (false)` to a lot of packages that recompile several times per day, and since I’ve explicitly disabled the precompilation I see no use for the warning.

I just ran into the same “issue”. Try this:

```julia
redirect_stderr(devnull) do
    @eval using RossbyPlots
end

```

You can even turn this into a macro in your `startup.jl`

```julia
macro silent_using(pkg)
    return quote
        redirect_stderr(devnull) do
            @eval using $pkg
        end
    end
end

```
