Apologies, I missed that you were updating a package from 0.6.4 to 0.7 - I believe you could have generated the necessary Manifest.toml and Project.toml using `(Modia) pkg> develop .` when navigated to the location of your package and activating its environment. If a REQUIRE exists, the new Pkg seems (from my observations) to take the REQUIRE file and generate both Manifest and Project.toml from it.

There may be some inconsistencies though, as mentioned [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pkg3-plan-and-status/9763).
