Description Denys Dmytriyenko 2013-05-10 16:28:02 UTC 
It is known that spaces are not handled gracefully in other parts of Yocto/OE. Need to prevent user to try to extract an SDK into a location containing spaces in path. Requires a check in create_shar() of populate_sdk_base.bbclass to report a useful error instead of failing like this:

$ ./linux-devkit.sh 
Enter target directory for SDK (default: /usr/local/arago-2013.05): /tmp/My\ Docs
./linux-devkit.sh: line 45: Docs: command not found
./linux-devkit.sh: line 46: [: /tmp/My: binary operator expected
readlink: extra operand `Docs'
Try `readlink --help' for more information.
You are about to install the SDK to "". Proceed[Y/n]?
