Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 4 of 5] tar: create a host version
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 08:55:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d39fc3b10b4e926a83a7.1316588134@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <patchbomb.1316588130@localhost6.localdomain6>

Some systems, like RedHat/CentOS, are even today shipped with ancient versions
of GNU tar, like 1.15. This can cause trouble, for example when unpacking
archives containing hardlinks with the --strip-components option.

To avoid such problems, let buildroot create a host-tar that can be used when
unpacking.
