[08:50] <zigo> Hi. Is the Ubottu bot connected to OFTC?
[08:50] <zigo> I'd like to have it in #debian-openstack, to tell us about launchpad bugs...
[08:51] <Mikaela> I don't think there are any Ubuntu bots at OFTC, but you will probably find Debian ones
[08:58] <zigo> Mikaela: Yeah, there's "BTS" (for which I'm searching for doc, BTW), but it wont tell about launchpad issues.
[08:59] <Mikaela> I think you might not get a bot to connect to OFTC, but they are FOSS so you should be able to setup a clone easily
[08:59] <Unit193> zigo: Are you talking about a bot that tells you about new bugs, or when you paste a number?
[09:01] <Mikaela> https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bots/ubuntu-bots/devel you need a Supybot though and might be interested inhttp://doc.supybot.aperio.fr/en/latest/use/install.html (meetingology uses it)
[10:33] <Mikaela> Does anyone have any idea who could be pinged about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat/+bug/1437272 or if anyone has even seen that?
[10:33] <udsbotu> Launchpad bug 1437272 in xchat (Ubuntu) "XChat is dead and distributions are maintaining their own set of patches for it" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[11:45] <Zic> Mikaela: it does not solve the quoted bug, but you can try to take a look at Hexchat (packed in Ubuntu now)
[11:45] <Zic> a forked version of XChat which is maintained directly
[11:45] <Zic> look'n'feel are the same
[11:46] <Mikaela> solution would be removing XChat entirely from the repositories in favour of HexChat
[11:46] <Zic> or transform the xchat package to a dummy wich depends of hexchat, yes
[11:46] <Mikaela> that would be even better
[11:46] <Zic> personnaly I'm an irssi user, but I recommend Hexchat to my collegue for graphical IRC replacement of Xchat
[11:47] <Mikaela> I use WeeChat and when asked I also recommend HexChat as GUI, but there is high number of users who have just installed XChat from repositories :(

[12:50] <udsbotu> Launchpad bug 1322024 in ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "Make Hexchat the default IRC client instead of XChat in Ubuntu 14.10" [Wishlist,Confirmed]
[12:50] <k1l_> Mikaela: ^
[12:50] <Mikaela> thanks
[12:52] <k1l_> there were several bugs similar. but it might be that the whole xchat/hexchat is just pulled from debian and that they make the decision. and i think gnome still wants their xchat-gnome to be used.
[12:52] <Mikaela> isn't xchat-gnome also dead?
[12:53] <k1l_> imho yes.
[12:54] <k1l_> and it wasnt a good one anyway. it was too cut down to meet the gnome menu guidelines
[12:58] <k1l_> maintainer for xchat is ubuntu-developers (so i guess its just the debian pull). a request on the -devel-discuss ML could be a startingpoint.
[20:57] <Unit193> hexchat introduces bugs and annoyances it never fixed, so still reason to use xchat over hexchat for some.
[22:00] <hggdh> :w
