Thanks. I checked on a distribution that is using MB and it created the META.json for me too. ++! Interestingly Sam Graham posted a link to his article where he shows how he did this 2 years ago: http://www.illusori.co.uk/blog/2013/01/03/setting-repository-with-module-build.html I tried the same using MB 0.4003 but got the following error: Error is: Invalid metadata structure. Errors: 'HASH(0xfcde50)' for 'repository' does not have a URL scheme (resources -> repository) [Validation: 1.4] Was the feature removed? regards Gabor
