Ubuntu 13.04 repo has been officially removed. Therefore, I upgrade my computer to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and re-build my meta-layer for AM335x.
I found only Yocto version 1.6 supports Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. TI SDK6 is based on Yocto 1.5 and it fails to build. The error messages are
tar: --same-order option cannot be used with -c Try 'tar --help' or 'tar --usage' for more information. tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
The issue comes up if user's distro is using GNU tar version 1.27 which is a standard package in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
root@dns3:~# tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.27.1

I believed that more and more people will upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS because 13.04 is no longer supported.
What is the best way that TI suggests to work around this??
