Current jack port uses a commit from the jack1 master branch, long after the 
0.125.0 release tag. But it looks like the release number was not updated from 
0.125.0rc1 to 0.125.0 until the following commit in the master branch:

https://github.com/jackaudio/jack1/commit/
0cb641ba3f205f210ed7574e4e5cbf37829dfe89

Apart from updating the port, the quick and dirty way would be to just patch 
the release number in the configure.ac file. The sources are post 0.125.0 
release anyway.

Yes, still on that mission. But that's not a short term solution.
