defaults in .config are ignored

[saraedum]

The defaults set in .config are ignored when changing the Target System through make menuconfig. In other words, if you do the following:

cp firmware/.config .
make defconfig
make menuconfig (change Target System)

then dnsmasq is again selected.

(This is not a bug in the firmware, but in the README.)

Yes, this is a sneaky problem. Any idea how to fix this? Maybe we should create a patch.

Maybe something like this helps:

Let's see if someone knows the answer: https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=263159

[mwarning]

ok, I've made a branch with fix. Needs to be tested: https://github.com/ffulm/firmware/tree/dnsmasq

[mwarning]

I have submitted a patch that has a different approach: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/18850 It also needs to be tested.
