[mythtv] Untracked file MYMETA.json

Hello

git status, "bothers" me with the following untracked file

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        mythtv/bindings/perl/MYMETA.json

I checked it today on a clean clone.
It is generated, but afterwards not used/installed.

Is it possible to ignore it, like

bindings/perl/.gitignore:MYMETA.yml

as suggested 
http://weblog.bulknews.net/post/44251476706/stop-shipping-mymeta-to-cpan


It can also be overridden with NO_MYMETA in Makefile.PL
        'NO_META'       => 1,
        'NO_MYMETA'       => 1,


When MYMETA is generated the following small error appears
mythtv/bindings/perl$ make
perl Makefile.PL MAKEFILE=Makefile.perl
Writing Makefile.perl for MythTV
Can't parse version '.28git'
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json

Changing in MythTV.pm, does not produce the error anymore
    $VERSION = '.28git';
to
    $VERSION = '0.28git';
