hexchat currently uses gtk2 and I don't think we want any more gtk2 dependencies added to main.
hexchat is currently in main so it would need to complete the Main Inclusion Process. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess But you'll need to talk to the Ubuntu Desktop team about whether they want hexchat in main. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1322024 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.
