From 37a909cacff94660ced3cc1cafbd2a1c6b0a337b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 21:14:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] package/tar: drop specific version for host variant Now that we can generate reproducible archives, with all known tar versions starting with 1.27, we don't need to clamp the host-tar version to the old 1.29, and can now bump to any later version. Drop the host-tar version, and use the same as the target variant. Note that we still need the _SOURCE trick, to avoid depending on tar to extract the tar tarball... Signed-off-by: Yann E.
