On the other side, building tar from the (latest) sources is quite
easy. That's what I'd do.

Yocto is for building custom Linux distributions. It builds on OpenEmbedded.

I have no idea what 'Yocto' is, but CentOS 7 includes two other tar utilities: 
'bsdtar' and 'star'

Maybe one of those will give you what you need?

Subject: [CentOS] Newer versoin of tar 1.26 on Centos 7

Is it possible to find a repository that hold a newer version of tar.
The current version is 1.26

I have some students trying to build Yocto project on my Centos 7 host,
but OpenEmbedded reports incompatibility problems with the current
version of tar.

I thank you on beforehand for any help.
