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?

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.

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