Michael, any idea why the default behavior is to always overwrite META.yml? As more projects will start maintaining it, they all will have to specify NO_META. Shouldn't it be the opposite: overwrite only if explicitly told to?


I think most projects would want the META.yml overwritten by default. I certainly do in my projects, because it will update all the information for me. I don't think many people are maintaining the metadata by hand like you are.

If that's the case, then OK we can use NO_META. But I think just like Makefile is moved to Makefile.old, the old META.yml should at least be moved to META.old when overwritten and may be a warning issued?
