Yes, that is a typo and should have been "-j stable" and "-j release" respectively.

As mentioned before: I am a newbie regarding poudriere. I must have failed to understand the jail concept from the beginning. I always believed that the method to chose for creation and updating my poudriere jails should be the same I use following FBSD at my target machines (svn and compiling from source).

Now, the creation of both 9.2-PRERELEASE and 9.2-RC2 jails by "-m ftp" has been successful and BTW very much faster as well ;-). Thanks for pointing me into that direction.

JFTR: No, that didn't help. I did run into the same error.


Anyway, I will stick to the default method from now on.

Thanks,
