Creating packages for UPM and serving them over a scoped registry

Unity Engine
1

Hi i currently investigate switching to UPM for our inhouse tooling.
I set up a npm registry (Verdaccio) and uploaded a test package. Which shows up in the UPM without any trouble.
But when downloading the package i get this error:

Read only asset Packages/com.company.product./Editor has no meta file.

Seems like Unity wont generate .meta files for the imported package.
Interestingly, when i import the package via ‘Add package from disk…’ it will create those .meta files for me.

So why is this behaviour so different? Is this a bug or do i have to add .meta files to a package when i want to import it via registry?

Hello @Reeley , you might start by checking out our documentation on importing Asset Packages into Unity: Unity - Manual: Asset packages

I hope this helps!
