I don't think this is a good solution, as pointed out here https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/50914#issuecomment-1714559096 this could cause issues with packages using Polymake.jl which expect polymake to be initialized correctly during precompilation.
Note that we are even running the Aqua test regarding this issue during CI:
Persistent tasks | 1 1 6.4s
I reverted your commit and added a different workaround for this by setting a custom Downloads.Downloader
with a short grace time. This should avoid the hang due to the timer.
Thanks!
Fixes https://github.com/thofma/Hecke.jl/issues/1340 for me (see also https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/52685).
If you are happy with this, I would also appreciate a quick patch release containing this fix.
