Start inets in release
My project depends on inets and I would like it to be started automatically. From what I understand, I need to add inets to LOCAL_DEPS for it to be added to application resource file. It does seem to work but each time I build or run my release, I get the following warnings:

I found a similar issue reporter on rebar https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/discussions/2494. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?
You're not doing anything wrong, this is a bug.
The release handling code is relx, the same as rebar3, which in turn uses systools. It is likely that you are running into the exact same issue. The recommendation from the user to add {dev_mode, false} might work, only for Erlang.mk they are to be added to relx.config instead.
I just realized that {dev_mode, false} was already set in my relx.config file. For some reason it doesn't seem to do anything. I also tried to add RELX_OPTS = -d false to my Makefile but it didn't have any effect.
Anyhow, it's not a big deal and it doesn't prevent me from running my project so I guess there is no need to spend more time on this.
OK I'll close this and hope things to work better in a future Relx release. Thanks!
