I don't think that would affect things built with poudriere image. (poudriere image -t usb ....)

My 13-CURRENT jail is always latest snapshot. poudriere image does the same regardless of release: download tarballs, extract to dir, makefs, mkimg. I don't see why it would work for 12 but not 13. I can try a newer snapshot later. > >> /Johannes
