This is something that portmgr and the build server admins will already
be aware of.  While it looks alarming, in this case, it is in fact
completely harmless.

You're focusing on the wrong problem.  The 'Jail newer than host' thing
would affect *every* package build on the cluster for FreeBSD HEAD.
Since all port maintainers are not receiving build-failure nastygrams
continually, ergo it's some other problem you need to attend to.  Keep
reading further down the email: usually the breakage you are responsible
for looking at will occur near the end.

	Cheers,
