Add Project Templates to MD

Hello,
How can I add my own project templates to MonoDevelop?
I create a .xpt.xml file and do the "mdtool setup
pack" stuff and
looks like works well, but when I do "mdtool setup
rep-build" I get
this error:
    MonoDevelop Add-In Setup Utility
    Checking directory: myaddins
    Addin configuration file not found in package.

By the way the local repository cann't be added I receive an
error:
    The repository could not be registered.
I'll really appreciate your help.
I'm working on Kubuntu Feysty & Monodevelop 0.12

You need a .addin.xml file. IIRC the templates needs to be a
resource
in an AddIn assembly too. Have you read
http://w
ww.monodevelop.com/Writing_an_Add-In ?

It's non-trivial to add new project and file templates to
MD, and this
problem has come up several times now. I think we should add
a way to
load templates from ~/.config/MonoDevelop/Templates (or
similar).

I changed the template loader so now it can read templates
from files in
addition to resources, which makes writing custom templates
much easier
for end users.

That's how it can be done:
      * Create the templates, both project and file
templates are
        supported (xpt.xml or xft,xml, although the
extension name
        doesn't really matter).
      * Create a .addin.xml file which registers the
templates.
      * Copy all templates and the .addin.xml file to
        ~/.config/MonoDevelop/addins (you can create a
subdirectory
        there).

I'm attaching a sample template and .addin.xml file.

Lluis.
