target names with ':' fail

[Bryce Harrington]

After creating a new Project today, I attempted to create a Target named 'moblin box: mboard2', which failed issuing that makes me think it got confused by the ':'. The target name input box should include a check for allowed/disallowed characters and issue an error if incorrect characters are used.

Setting up initramfs-tools (0.85eubuntu20) ...

Good catch. We will see if we can figure out a nice way to fix this.

I have fixed this in the latest version on moblin.org, we will only allow alphanumeric characters for target names.

Target names aren't checked when you create a target with the "Add a Target" button inside the "New Project" dialog.

[Steve Magoun (smagoun)]

Target names aren't checked when you create a target via the command line, either.

Prajwal,

Can you fix the other cases of this and then close out this bug?

Thanks,
John
