Comment (by cooljeanius):

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign]:
 > Fixed the immediate problems, but this software is old. The latest
 version is from 2005. There are a lot of warnings when compiling, some of
 which might be concerning. There's been no response from the developer(s)
 to several longstanding bug reports. Someone has left a comment on the
 [https://sourceforge.net/projects/cryptcat/ SourceForge project page] back
 in 2014 saying this software should not be used because its cryptography
 is bad, to which the developer(s) have not responded. I can't verify that
 claim, but the use of any cryptography software this old is probably not
 advisable.

 Well that's probably worth putting in the port's `long_description` then,
 and/or a note that's shown by `port notes`.
