Thanks to Ivan's help at IRC, I figured out the reason for this. Thanks again.
[10:36] <casualjim> I'm not an admin there
[10:36] <casualjim> but I'm assuming even after downgrading it doesn't work?
[10:37] <seratch> Unfortunately the issue still remains.
[10:37] <seratch> tried 0.4.2
[10:47] <casualjim> seratch: where do you set up the template stuff?
[10:52] <casualjim> yes but I mean inside the code
[10:52] <casualjim> in a base trait or something
[10:59] <rossabaker> That Scalate group treats everything as spam, and I don't get notifications. :(
[10:59] <rossabaker> I told it to always allow messages. Hopefully that works.
[11:00] <casualjim> seratch for me it packages
[11:00] <casualjim> i downloaded a skinny-blank-app
[11:00] <casualjim> and did ./sbt package
[11:00] <casualjim> i made one change: Seq( TemplateConfig(base / "webapp" / "WEB-INF",
[11:02] <casualjim> o skinny package fails
[11:10] <seratch> I figured out the reason... scalateSettings is included twice in packagingBaseSettings. After removing scalateSettings from packagingBaseSettings, it works.
[11:10] <seratch> Sorry for bothering you.
[11:11] <casualjim> great
[11:11] <casualjim> thanks for letting me know
