Description Saul Wold 2012-09-06 16:24:18 UTC 
OE-Core has a requirement for certain versions of host utilities such as subversion, tar, git, ...  Add a check to ensure we have the correct version available or build it.
Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2012-09-11 10:33:22 UTC 
We have git-replacement-native and tar-replacement-native that are already handled in this way; however I wouldn't have thought we would want to expand this list. We solve the issue otherwise by limiting our supported distribution list. 

What prompted this?
Comment 2 Richard Purdie 2017-06-13 11:10:55 UTC 
We already support version checks in sanity.bbclass. Older version issues can be resolved with buildtools-tarball. We have no plans to support building the required tools in any other way.
