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

[Mattia Rizzolo]

xchat is back, and Gianfranco wants to keep it.

Also, I see little value in a transitional package or similar when they
can't be upgraded from one to the other seamlessly.  I'm therefore
closing both tasks.

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.
