I hit a problem with this... All files in MANIFEST are checked in by "make ci" so META.yml end up read-only. But then "make distdir" (eg from "make disttest") fails with: cannot create META.yml: permission denied The "metafile" target should write to a temporary file and then overwrite the META.yml only if it's different. I'm using 5.8.1 @19524. Hopefully someone can tell me this has been fixed now - I've not had time to check. Tim.
