The short answer: I re-created .julia. I've never accessed METADATA from
another computer.
The longer answer:
My problem was that the first call to Pkg.publish() failed on a a previous
package of mine, HyperDualNumbers. Somehow when that package became part of
JuliaDiff, I think version numbers, sha1 keys and possibly
JuliaLang/METADATA.jl's url link got out of sync. Pkg.add("HyperDualNumbers")
should install the latest tagged version from JulliaDiff, but it fetches the
old version from github.com/goedman/HyperDualNumbers.jl.git. On my system I
have to clone it from github.com/JuliaDiff/HyperDualNumbers.jl.git to get the
right version.
I struggled with this for 2 days. Didn't get it resolved and in the end decided
to delete .julia. That's when the token problem started to appear.
But thanks to Tim's link, Stan.jl is now registered. Later today I'll send out
an email to see if there is interest in such a package - it's slightly
different from most packages as it requires an 'external' install of Stan - and
to obtain some feedback and maybe some help to test on non-OSX platforms.
