It's not really possible to cleanly upgrade a poudriere jail to a new
major. You'll need to delete the jail and recreate it.
  poudriere jail -d -j $jailname
  poudriere jail -c -j $jailname -v 12.0-RELEASE

If the jail name stays the same, it will retain all the options,
make.conf, and poudriere.conf. If the jail name has changed, you'll
most likely want to move those things over:
  cd /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d
  mv oldjailname-{make.conf,poudriere.conf,options,etc....} newjailname-...

You will, unfortunately, need to rebuild everything. After rebuilding,
be sure to run "pkg upgrade -f" BEFORE the final "freebsd-update
install"!
