#188 Drop hexchat as it's archived upstream
Opened 6 months ago by lkocman. Modified 6 months ago

Let's not add hexchat to Leap 16.0 any more. We have other alternatives such as polarii

This also means to drop it from our upgrade test suite and add weakremovers for it.

Main reason https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat is archived/abandoned.

- Issue set to the milestone: 16.0

I am aware that there will be still a lot of IRC users, however, I personally use irc client only as a backup in case that our matrix bridge is down.

In such a case I'm using polarii and for that it does a sufficient job. malcolmlewis on #factory confirmed that he uses it the very same way.

@lkocman affected users can always opt for the flatpak version io.github.Hexchat that's also available.
