The feature/image-manifest template should trigger a manifest file to be produced when doing a platform build. Currently it seems to generate only an empty file.
$ configure --enable-board=intel-x86_64 \
--enable-kernel=standard --enable-rootfs=glibc_std \
--with-template=feature/image-manifest \
--enable-jobs=1 --enable-parallel-pkgbuilds=4 \
--enable-rm-work=yes --enable-rm-oldimgs=yes \
--enable-checkout-all-layers=yes --enable-reconfig \
--enable-ccache=yes --with-ccache-dir=/path/to/ccache \
--with-sstate-dir=/path/to/sstate \
--with-rcpl-version=0006
$ make fs
$ cat
export/images/wrlinux-image-glibc-std-intel-x86-64-20151021101936.rootfs.manifest
$
The file is empty.
