Description

$ docker buildx imagetools create --annotation "country=sweden" -t davidkarlsson416/build:annotations davidkarlsson416/build:annotations
ERROR: "" annotations are not supported yet
$ docker buildx imagetools create --annotation "manifest:country=sweden" -t davidkarlsson416/build:annotations davidkarlsson416/build:annotations
ERROR: "manifest" annotations are not supported yet
