building Yocto on Fedora 14 vs. Ubuntu 11.10
I'm finding differences between the number of task for building meta-cedartrail on ubuntu 11.10 vs. doing the same thing on Fedora 14 and wondered if this is a problem.
On a clean build of core-image-sato, the first section has 63 tasks on Ubuntu 11.10, but 126 tasks on Fedora 14. 126 is the number I remember seeing for the first section of the build on other Sato builds.
Is this an issue? is this caused by the different development O/S's?
BTW the second part of the build has 4426 tasks on Ubuntu 11.10 and also on Fedora 14.

In the bitbake wrapper (scripts/bitbake), there is a check to see if the host version of tar is greater then 1.23. If it is not, then tar is added to the early set of tasks. This likely is the cause of the different task sets you see.

This is almost certainly due to the version of tar in Fedora 14 being "too old" such that it contains a bug in symlink handling - if it is then we just build tar-replacement-native and use that instead.
Nothing to worry about :)
