Summary: ipkg-make-index has problems with tar >= 1.15.2
Product: Openembedded
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Build

When creating images, the ipkg-make-index command is used. It extracts the
control files from the control.tar.gz file in the .ipk files by using a command
like this:
ar p file.ipk | tar xfzO - '*control'
With the more recent tar versions this fails since tar requires the
`--wildcards' argument to allow evaluation of such wildcards.
I propose to add this patch to the ipkg-utils package:
