Folder templates/visa-base/http missing?

[Atlas974]

Hello,

I'm trying to reproduce the example image from the repo but it seems that the templates/visa-base/http folder is missing, which makes the build fail.
Is this an omission or should I add it myself?

Here is the error below. I have attached a file containing the complete log: visa-base_build.log.

Thank you.

From what I understand, this could be related to the way packme generates the manifest.json files from the manifest.yml files.
Although the http_directory field is only present in system-base/manifest.yml, after running packme it is also generated in visa-base/manifest.json and visa-apps/manifest.json. Is this the expected behavior?

Yes, this was indeed a problem due to an updated version of packer. The changes have already been integrated into the "dev" branch and will be merged into main shortly.
