getting the most up-to-date packages on this build host.

                 The following list shows the required packages by function
                 given a supported CentOS Linux distribution:

+                    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
