It seems that the -q option doesn't work well with cask

 brew cask outdated -q
Error: ambiguous option: -q

I hit the same error during mach bootstrap. Using --quiet instead of -q works for me.
Output of man brew-cask:

outdated [--greedy] [--verbose|--quiet] [ token ... ]
              Without  token  arguments,  display  all  the installed Casks that have newer versions available in the tap; otherwise
              check only the tokens given in the command line. If --greedy is given then also include in the output the Casks having
              auto_updates true or version :latest. Otherwise they are skipped because there is no reliable way to know when updates
              are available for them.
              --verbose forces the display of the outdated and latest version.
              --quiet suppresses the display of versions.

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1624380

Comment 8

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:canova, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?
If not please set status_beta to wontfix.

For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

I don't think this is worth uplifting since this only fixes bootstrap and I don't think we use bootstrap for beta development or in the CI. But on the other hand, this is pretty low risk patch to uplift and may fix a problem that 1% of the people will encounter.

Hey Ricky, redirecting the ni to you since I'm not completely sure about uplifting here. What's your opinion on this?

Bug 1635381 - Change the -q flag of brew cask outdated into --quiet. r?mstange

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: Prevents bootstrap from being run on macOS entirely (at least, for those using homebrew, which to my knowledge is the large majority of them). mach bootstrap is not really used in CI or real beta development but in my experience some people do try to use it anyway and they're not hesitant to report problems. I think that the latest beta is probably recent enough overall that running bootstrap will still work with the addition of this patch.
• Is this code covered by automated tests?: No
• Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes
• Needs manual test from QE?: No
• If yes, steps to reproduce:
• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This only affects bootstrap; most people doing stuff with beta won't even run this code, and this just fixes a broken series of command line arguments if they do end up running it.
• String changes made/needed:

[Ricky Stewart]

So I requested the uplift. As the request says, and as comment 9 noted, this is outside the typical beta dev cycle, so there's an argument for not bothering with the uplift. This week our general approach with beta uplifts has been that if small, extremely low-risk patches can possibly make things better for a small subset of people, it's probably worth it. Might as well because this code is clearly broken without the patch and somebody COULD conceivably get use out of it, basically.

Low risk and already broken, uplift approved for beta 6, thanks.
