Anywhere in the Porter's Handbook, naturally. I'll be updating docs this summer, you can probably leave it to me if you don't find this urgent.

Yes, I always have a few jails around built the "canonical" way described in the manpage, but I always have trouble building some ports. Sometimes it's just perl and hundreds of other ports install OK, sometimes dozens of them report problems. It clearly requires investigation from my side to tell you more, but it seems it's not that simple to recreate pointyhat's success and failure cases. Maybe there are some subtle details about pointyhat's jails that need to be added to jail(8) manpage. Thanks!
