So, in this case, it is a bug in Poudriere to scream about it like that? How, in general, does one figure out whether this message matters in a particular case? (I figure it must sometimes be very important, or the Poudriere folks would not have made it so prominent.) > The 'Jail newer than host' thing would affect *every* package > build on the cluster for FreeBSD HEAD ... ... unless the particular incompatibility introduced by a particular instance of the misconfiguration turned out to affect only a few ports. > Keep reading further down the email: usually the breakage > you are responsible for looking at will occur near the end. The later errors also seem to involve configuration problems -- it looks like a mismatch between the port's code and some .h file. The port hasn't been touched in months -- at least, not to my knowledge -- and it does not depend on other ports, so if the Poudriere misconfiguration isn't the cause I guess that leaves an incompatible change in base sometime within a week or so before 1/11 (first Poudriere message regarding this, which I didn't notice at the time). That's not something I can easily look into, because I don't run HEAD. Now what?
