Regression in --build behaviour

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I’ve noticed a small regression with the new version 0.20. Before we used to be able to do this: conan test_package --build=outdated --build=Boost . It meant “rebuild any outdated package and rebuild Boost anyway”.

Today I can only specify --build=outdated (or missing) if it’s the only --build argument. Else outdated is interpreted as the name of a package.

It seems I did another stupid mistake, sorry. Will probably release a minor tomorrow, I will try to add a fix for this.

Yeah, sorry, but the thing is that the --build behavior for special values like “missing” is not intended to be chained with package names patterns. Even if it wouldn’t fail, it won’t work as expected, so changing that would also be breaking behavior, so we are trapped anyway. If you check the PR, you will see that it is not small, so it will introduce risks of breaking other things, more time is needed to stabilize it.
