[PATCH 1/2] tar: make gtar always gnu tar

[PATCH 1/2] tar: make gtar always gnu tar

[Dan McGregor]

From: Daniel McGregor <daniel.mcgregor@vecima.com>

Previously, gtar was a symlink to tar. It followed update-alternatives,
when what we most likely want is for gtar to always be GNU tar, and tar
to be whatever update-alternatives decides.

[PATCH 2/2] python3-requests: Increase chardet upper limit

[Dan McGregor]

From: Dan McGregor <dan.mcgregor@vecima.com>

OE Core includes chardet 6.0, while requests warns for any version
greater than or equal to 6.0. Not for any real reason, but because
it was a higher version than what was released when requests 2.32
was released.

For "master" we should upgrade to 2.33.1 which is the latest release and
includes this patch:
https://github.com/psf/requests/compare/v2.32.5...v2.33.1

For 'wrynose' we should use the backport, but there is also a bump to
chardet < 8 that merged:

Oh I agree about master. This was intended for wrynose for now, since
it's either released or close to it.
And it was both < 8 and < 7 that merged, I cherry-picked the first
one. The link above is one after my cherry-pick below. I'm not opposed
to cherry-picking both though in one patch.
