From 83960012388c9b08e293ccdb8e4a4ef95f14887a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggleton Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2021 13:44:56 +1200 Subject: Use variables for minimum host versions and bump Python to 3.6 Minimum Git, tar, Python and gcc versions are specified in quite a few different places. Let's add some variables for these so there's no chance of missing one if they're updated in future. Additionally, for hardknott the minimum Python version is 3.6 so set that as the value for Python.
