[oe] Some beginners problems

[Sledz, Steffen]

I'm new to the OpenEmbedded system so please forgive me if my questions are FAQ or this is the wrong list.

OE ist set up and I'm able to build images running on the target machines. But I'm looking for some guidance for the following problems.

-------------------------------------------------
1. Problem

I wan't to make an image (e.g. minimal-image) for atngw100 but with different linux kernel configuration (e.g. CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y). What's th right way to do this?

* Just edit packages/linux/linux-2.6.24/atngw100/defconfig?
* Create an additional patch and a new bbfile (or modify existing one)?
* Change something in local.conf?
* Something else ... ?

-------------------------------------------------
2. Problem

I want't make a special patched dbus (in addition to the standard installation). What's the best way here?

* Create an own package just using the same source archives?
* Add a patch file to the existing package and modify the bbfile?
* Something else ... ?

-------------------------------------------------

It would be nice to separate the changes not mentioned to become upstreamed from the org.openembedded.dev git tree.

Thanx for hints on this,
Steffen
