In general packages compiled in an 11.3-RELEASE jail will work fine on an 11.4-RELEASE machine. The important exception is Kernel Loadable Modules, which need to be compiled on the same system version as where they will be run. So: if you don't need to build any Kernel modules, then you don't need to update your poudriere jail. Since updating the poudriere jail will force poudriere to rebuild _all_ of the packages from that jail (which could take quite some time) not upgrading or delaying upgrading can be quite a useful move. Cheers, Matthew
