Description:	While using command cli (aka cli, asterisk -r) the simple command "help reload" doesnt produce anything useful.  It simply outputs "Alaised CLI Command" then fails to reissue the prompt. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** Why do I see just "Addons-1.6.2.0" in this forms "Product Version" box.  What is Addons?  And why aren't there any other choices?  This is a bug report of asterisk, and there is an "Asterisk Version" box.  What gives? And why isn't there an asterisk-1.6.2.1 choice in "Asterisk Version"?
Comments:	By: Leif Madsen (lmadsen) 2010-03-08 10:00:26.000-0600 Thank you for the issue report. A developer will review as soon as time and resources allow. As for the product version -- you don't see the information there because we don't use that field. It has not yet been removed or disabled as that requires code changes, and we're waiting for the latest Mantis to be released prior to upgrading and applying our custom changes. As for the asterisk version -- you don't see 1.6.2.1 because 1.6.2.5 is the latest Asterisk release version, and 1.6.2.6-rc2 is the latest release candidate. You will see an option entitled "Older 1.6.2 -- please use a newer version" which indicates you should be attempting to reproduce and file issues against the latest released version. We have several projects hosted on this Mantis instance such as DAHDI, libpri, etc... which is why there is a specific Asterisk Version field as you have seen.  We didn't write the tools, we're just using them to the best of our abilities.

The other issue mentioned in this bug will be more difficult to resolve since we have no idea (right now) of knowing if the command that is aliased has been installed yet.

The best option should be the version drop-down to be dynamic and the release script add an entry when a new version comes out.
