Does this really work with =, should it not be ?= here?

Ugh. No. This was an attempt to fix this:

+IMAGE_CLASSES ??= ""
+inherit image_types ${IMAGE_CLASSES}

which gives the following bitbake error:

ERROR: classes/.bbclass is not a BitBake file
ERROR: Command execution failed: Exited with 1

when IMAGE_CLASSES is left as "". It's trying to inherit a ".bbclass"
file. There is no good alternative because I have to enforce
IMAGE_CLASSES is only modified by appending to it. So the only
solution is to modifed the local.conf.sample to say

IMAGE_CLASSES += "image_types_uboot" and leave the other bit as is...

Except it seems I have to do this:

IMAGE_CLASSES_append = " image_types_uboot"

if I want the value to actually be appended.

Right I understood that part from before I think.  But why can't you have

IMAGE_CLASSES ?= "image_types"

and then in the local.conf override that with

IMAGE_CLASSES = "image_types_uboot"

since image_types_uboot inherits image_types.

> IMAGE_CLASSES += "image_types_uboot" and leave the other bit as is...

I have to admit I like this a little better with the possible thought of 
breaking up image_types a little more, keep more used ones in 
image_types, but move lesser used ones to their on .bbclass

Them IMAGE_CLASSES truly is a list of image_type classes.

I think this is best, let the user override IMAGE_CLASSES to
(eventually) be able to add individual image_types_XYZ. Will send new
patch.

Change IMAGE_CLASSES definition to use ?= instead of =
so it's clear we want to override this variable. This worked
before because the value in my distro.conf file overwrote
this value regardless of the fact it was set with =

The preferred location for this advanced functionality should be the 
local.conf.sample.extended as Richard points out, please resubmit.
