So far, we checked that the tar present on the host was at most tar
1.29, because tar 1.30 changed the way it generates archives.
Having a maximum tar version requirement meant that we would eventually
always have to build our own host-tar, as distributions are updating
the version they use.
But now, we have found a way to generate reproducible archives starting
with tar 1.27 onward, so we no longer need the check for a maximum tar
version, so we can drop that requirement.
Note: this is semantically a revert of b8fa273d50 (check-host-tar.sh:
blacklist tar 1.30+), but keeping the new, mostly-linear code-path.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
