You were correct in that only the newer patches work with job 1.4.
I have added a README to the download directory.
I've also added an "Install Notes" entry to the left hand nav bar on the
pagg web site. It just includes the README from the download directory.
The README lays out:
- Which patches are needed to work with job 1.4
- Order of patch application
- Some notes on which patches began to include some recent community
feedback that affects PAGG macros and usage.
It also appears the 'news' section isn't very new :) I'll try to tidy that
up now. Personally, I'd prefer not to have a 'news' and just have people
look at the mailing list archives. Let me know if this doesn't sound
acceptable.
If there is strong demand, I can try to make some pagg/job patches for
older kernels that have the latest updates. Let me know.

I'll file a bug on this internally so we can find a better way to handle
this.
