Build failure under DragonFly

[noloader]

Following the instructions at http://pkgin.net/. The Git fetch is OK, and the Configure is OK. Make is causing trouble:

$ make

Upstream bug filed at Issue 2982: Failed compile due to fetch.h and MAXHOSTNAMELEN.

FWIW, pkgin 20.8.0 builds fine for me on DragonFly 5.6.2, when built via pkgsrc (pkgtools/pkgin), which pulls in its own version of libfetch. (I realize your point was there's a separate issue natively on DragonFly, which seems to still be there, from a glance at /usr/include/fetch.h.)

Thanks. Yeh, the eventual goal would probably be to support the FreeBSD-based libfetch too, as part of making pkgin more portable outside of a pkgsrc environment (something I've initiated with the recent move to full autotools), but that's quite a long way down the priority list and is unlikely to be fixed any time soon.

I'll leave the ticket open anyway though.
