>Description:
vsftpd's code assumes that the system has IPv6-capable libraries and header files. If this is not the case compiling fails.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The best fix would be to fix the soure (maybe by a huge number of #ifdefs) to make it work on IPv4 only platforms as well. Until this happens I propose the following addition for pkgsrc/net/vsftpd/Makefile, which prevents failing in the midst of the ompiling process (after needlessly having fetched the source etc.) but rather leads to a graceful bailout just right in the begining. It would even be nicer if that code could print out a little message simliar to the one in the comment line.

.include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"
.if ${_OPSYS_HAS_INET6} != "yes"
# for the time being, vsftpd requires IPv6-enabled system libraries to compile
NOT_FOR_PLATFORM=       *-*-*
.endif
