Hi,

I know the documentation mentions that you should be running a “reasonably current” Linux as your build host, but in my enterprise environment I’m stuck with having to run fairly old versions, based on RHEL 4 and 5.  I’ve got some patches that I’ve been maintaining so I can bootstrap Bernard builds on these systems.  Is there any interest in supporting older systems as build hosts?  Any thoughts on how far back “reasonably current” is going to be with each Yocto release?  I’m trying to work with my IT group to upgrade a bit more frequently, and for developer workstations, that might be possible, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to convince them to do that for servers in our data centers.

Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

Thanks,
-Matt
