If I am building an image “image-ABC”, and it is composed of a

Which is the best place to modify the build with bbappend ?

Would I modify a recipe’s do_install (do_install_append-recipe_xyz)
?, or would I modify the image recipe (do_install_append-image_ABC)
I am leaning this way to avoid cases where the component recipes
might have bbappends in place already ?

i would think start with defining a minimal image, then define other
images based on that one which add more recipes. this has nothing to
do with redefining the recipes, it just means defining more than one
image.
