`pkgdown::build_site()` ignores `override` argument when selecting development mode about pkgdown

[hadley]

Judging from my read of the code, PKGDOWN_DEV_MODE will only be used if it is set. And this reprex looks fine to me:

library(pkgdown)

x <- pkgdown::as_pkgdown(override = list(development = list(mode = "devel")))
str(x$development)
#> List of 4
#>  $ destination  : chr "dev"
#>  $ mode         : chr "devel"
#>  $ version_label: chr "danger"
#>  $ in_dev       : logi TRUE

x <- pkgdown::as_pkgdown(override = list(development = list(mode = "release")))
str(x$development)
#> List of 4
#>  $ destination  : chr "dev"
#>  $ mode         : chr "release"
#>  $ version_label: chr "muted"
#>  $ in_dev       : logi FALSE

Perhaps you could explain the problem you are seeing?
