Hi,

I think I'm misunderstanding how this works. I thought that when I used
menuselect/menuselect that it would write my change into the
menuselect.makeopts file, but that doesn't seem to be happening here:

root at gw9:/usr/src/asterisk-18.7.1# menuselect/menuselect --list-category MENUSELECT_ADDONS
+ chan_mobile
- chan_ooh323
- format_mp3
- res_config_mysql
- app_mysql
- cdr_mysql

root at gw9:/usr/src/asterisk-18.7.1# menuselect/menuselect --enable format_mp3 menuselect.makeopts 

root at gw9:/usr/src/asterisk-18.7.1# menuselect/menuselect --list-category MENUSELECT_ADDONS
+ chan_mobile
- chan_ooh323
- format_mp3
- res_config_mysql
- app_mysql
- cdr_mysql

I expected to see a "+" next to format_mp3 on the second listing.

What I also don't understand is the difference between the listings
above and the one I get when I specify the makeopts file, which doesn't
have chan_mobile selected:

root at gw9:/usr/src/asterisk-18.7.1# menuselect/menuselect --list-category MENUSELECT_ADDONS menuselect.makeopts
- chan_mobile
- chan_ooh323
- format_mp3
- res_config_mysql
- app_mysql
- cdr_mysql
