The situation with pax (vs. tar and cpio) is perfectly described here: https://xkcd.com/927/ The only reason pax is still around, kind of, is because both POSIX and LSB mandate it. Outside of those documents, it's not used by anyone. Meanwhile, the upstream URI we've been taking it from went down, and rather than seek an alternative source, I just went ahead and removed the recipe.

OE-Core aims to be able to provide basic LSB compatible images. There
|
|
are some challenges for OE as LSB isn't always 100% relevant to its
|
|
target embedded and IoT audiences.
|
|
|
|
One challenge is that the LSB spec is no longer being actively
|
|
developed [https://github.com/LinuxStandardBase/lsb] and has
|
|
components which are end of life or significantly dated. OE
|
|
therefore provides compatibility with the following caveats:
|
|
|
|
* Qt4 is provided by the separate meta-qt4 layer. Its noted that Qt4
|
|
is end of life and this isn't something the core project regularly
|
|
tests any longer. Users are recommended to group together to support
|
|
maintenance of that layer. [http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-qt4/]
|
|
|
|
* mailx has been dropped since its no longer being developed upstream
|
|
and there are better, more modern replacements such as s-nail
|
|
(http://sdaoden.eu/code.html) or mailutils (http://mailutils.org/).
|
|
|
|
* A few perl modules that were required by LSB 4.x aren't provided:
|
|
libclass-isa, libenv, libdumpvalue, libfile-checktree,
|
|
libi18n-collate, libpod-plainer.
|
|
|
|
* libpng 1.2 isn't provided; oe-core includes the latest release of libpng
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
* pax (POSIX standard archive) tool is not provided.
