I tested your META6.json file with:

There is an open issue matching your problem.
There is mention of a fix; if I am reading it correctly, it is to
archive with `git archive` and upload with "fez's --file option",
instead of letting `fez` create the archive itself.
(If you try this, remember to advance your version number before
uploading!)
Whether or not that fix works for you, we would all benefit from you
noting your results on the ticket itself:

you probably had a variable that was undefined, rather than containing
an empty string, or perhaps you had something else in the variable as as
Raku has many types but why anything would actually hang the program
instead of returning an error I could not say.
