Description Alexandru Georgescu 2015-11-02 15:50:26 UTC 
If a user specifies a location for the extensible SDK with a special character, the user should be warned and stopped before attempting installation. 

Currently, the SDK continues the install process and informs the user after installation was done that the installation failed.

[alex@fed tmp]$ ./poky-glibc-x86_64-core-image-sato-corei7-64-toolchain-ext-2.0.sh
Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro) Extensible SDK installer version 2.0
