Port is extremely old and the version in ports is no longer supported by the unrealircd team. The latest version is 5.0.3.1. Can we get this updated, please?

This issue needs a patch to progress, and the port needs a maintainer
Comment 2 Kubilay Kocak freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-02-14 09:57:09 UTC 
I'll take this. If someone can assist with a patch, that would be greatly appreciated

As announced a year ago, all support for UnrealIRCd 3.2.x will stop after December 31, 2016 [1]


All UnrealIRCd versions up to and including 4.0.14 can be crashed by a remote user ... <snip> [2]

UnrealIRCd 4.0.18 (stable) is now available for download. This is a recommended upgrade because it fixes some memory leaks / security issues present in 4.0.17 and earlier version [3]

The above security issues should have VuXML entries added (in addition to the 5.x update).
