Different patches for different images for same machine

Hi,

I have extended the basic images core-image-minimal and core-image-full- cmdline to images that differ by installed items in the rootfs, like core- image-minimal-web has dhcp-client, inetutils-telnetd, openssh openssh- sftp-server installed.
Now I would like to customize the environment variables in u-boot with patches and create a dedicated u-boot to the appropriate image.

Any advises how the most robust realization for this would be?

Should I create a dedicated Machine conf instead of different images, or is there a way to conditionaly add an additional patch to u-boot ?

Thanks for helping me out, greetings Andi

Hi Andreas,

The problem I see here is what would happen if you say `bitbake u-boot'. At this point no image should being built, so what patches should be applied?
With the machines aproach you have multiple virtual u-boots and select the proper one with a preferred provider.
