Retiring xchat and letting hexchat replace it

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hey,

I have been thinking of retiring xchat from Fedora, and let hexchat
take over as its natural replacement. Historically, xchat has been quite
popular, so I thought I'd mention it here before removing it from the
distribution.

XChat is dead [1] and the last upstream release was seven years ago
[2].  On the other hand, HexChat [3] has been a part of Fedora for the
last four years, upstream [4] (CCed) is involved in both the Fedora
and GNOME communties, and I learnt that the MATE spin already ships it
by default.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Rishi
