[Bug 1322024] Re: Make Hexchat the default IRC client instead of XChat in Ubuntu 14.10 and later versions

[Mikaela Suomalainen]

It seems HexChat is removed from Ubuntu 16.04 repositories.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=xchat

I marked my bug as "fix released", but I am not sure if I should do it
here as I haven't done the removal or reported this bug and this seems
to be reported against two packages/projects.

Title:
  Make Hexchat the default IRC client instead of XChat in Ubuntu 14.10
  and later versions

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xchat package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since XChat is no longer in development by it's main developer, I was
  thinking that maybe you guys should make HexChat the default IRC
  client for Ubuntu 14.10, if it isn't already the default IRC client in
  Ubuntu 14.04. It's a great IRC client, and it's much better than
  XChat. So I would really appreciate it if you guys could make HexChat
  the default IRC client in the next release of Ubuntu.
