The following list shows the required packages by function
given a supported CentOS Linux distribution:
- <note>Depending on the CentOS version you are using, other requirements
- and dependencies might exist.
- For details, you should look at the CentOS sections on the
- <ulink url='https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Poky/GettingStarted/Dependencies'>Poky/GettingStarted/Dependencies</ulink>
- wiki page.
+ <note>
+ For CentOS 6.x, some of the versions of the components
+ provided by the distribution are too old (e.g. Git, Python,
+ and tar).
+ It is recommended that you install the buildtools in order
+ to provide versions that will work with the OpenEmbedded
+ build system.
+ For information on how to install the buildtools tarball,
+ see the
+ "<link linkend='required-git-tar-and-python-versions'>Required Git, Tar, and Python Versions</link>"
+ section.
