Arch Linux

Description:
unrealircd seems to have a hardcoded Unix socket path set to /build/unrealircd/data/unrealircd.ctl. This seems to be impossible to change. This should be a part of the config (so maybe an upstream bug?) or set to something in /run.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 6.0.4.1-1
* config and/or log files etc:

Steps to reproduce:

pacman -S unrealircd
cd /etc/unrealircd/tls
openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -x509 -sha512 -days 365 -nodes -out server.cert.pem -keyout server.key.pem # generate self-signed cert for unrealircd to use
chown irc:irc *
< change default passwords and cookies in /etc/unrealircd/unrealircd.conf >
at this point, there's nothing to change in unrealircd's config and it won't start because it requires /build directory.
