mix precompiled.install (precompiled v0.2.0)

Copy Markdown View Source

Run through mix igniter.install precompiled. Makes the precompiled dependency runtime: false, adds config :precompiled, source: ... to config/config.exs (--source URL, default the public Nerves compatibility portal) and puts "deps.compile precompiled", "precompiled.deps" at the front of the project's deps.loadpaths alias, before any steps already there. Running it again changes nothing. Not for umbrellas: add the alias to the umbrella root by hand (see mix help precompiled.deps).

--device is for a Nerves firmware that should be able to install on the device itself (Precompiled.install/1, see the "On a device" guide). It does three things:

  • removes runtime: false from the dependency, so the library ships in the firmware;
  • adds {:castore, "~> 1.0"} unless the project already depends on castore. The check looks at the dependencies only: a firmware that sets cacerts_path: under config :precompiled, :device still gets castore added, and can drop it again;
  • adds :inets, :ssl and :public_key to extra_applications: they are optional applications of this library, and an online install needs them.

Nothing else is written for the device: it is on by default and uses the official signed source.
