It does seem like Smart is geared more to configuration via the command line 
rather than editing the configuration file directly.

One approach you could take would be to add a shell function to your image 
recipe (or some class that multiple image recipes can inherit) that adds the 
feeds, and trigger that from ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND; this would add the 
feeds to your image when the image is generated. Something like this:


add_custom_smart_config() {
	smart --data-dir=${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/var/lib/smart channel --add ... -y
}

ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "add_custom_smart_config ; "


It would be nice to have something built-in for this. I'll add it to my todo 
list.

Cheers,
Paul
