Circular dependency when precompiling

[kmp5VT]

Hello,

I am trying to add Metal.jl but the code fails to precompile due to a circular dependency. I am currently on a Mac M1 running julia 11.1

julia> versioninfo()
Julia Version 1.11.1
Commit 8f5b7ca12ad (2024-10-16 10:53 UTC)
Build Info:

To test, I grab a new temporary environment and add Metal.jl

using Pkg
Pkg.activate(temp=true)
Pkg.add("Metal")

There seems to be no issue in Julia 1.11.2

This is fixed in 1.11.2 (released) and 1.10.8 (not yet released).
