The hosts we talk about (Debian 7, CentOS 6) work fine for normal usage without having to install buildtools. Having to install them for a situation that could also be dealt with by bitbake automatically seems not very user friendly. On IRC, Ross suggested that I should rewrite the regular tar recipe such that it installs tar as opt-in binary and remove the (mostly obsolete) tar-replacement-native). I'll send updated patches based on that. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter.
