[Touch-packages] [Bug 38694] [Review update] master
Review in progress for https://review.opencontrail.org/39136 Submitter: Ankit Jain (anki...@juniper.net) -- 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/38694 Title: No XChat in Dapper Status in Juniper Openstack: In Progress Status in Juniper Openstack r4.0 series: In Progress Status in Juniper Openstack r4.1 series: Fix Committed Status in Juniper Openstack trunk series: In Progress Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Apparently someone made the decision to remove XChat from the default installation for Dapper. This is important because it is the means new users use to reach the various IRC channels on Freenode and all the support those have to offer. I understand that Gaim is still included and supports IRC, but this has a few problems as an alternative. First, new users are not going to thing that Gaim Internet Messenger in their Applications menu has anything to do with getting support. Second, setting up, connecting to, and using IRC isn't entirely intuitive. Third, many people simply don't like Gaim's IRC UI. Fourth, it does not have the built-in setting like XChat had to automatically join #ubuntu when first started. In short, a brand new user is significantly less likely to manage to find the support of the IRC channels on their first boot of Ubuntu without XChat included and not knowing the ropes pretty well already. The IRC channels are an absolutely vital way of helping new users, and must be very easily accessible. Inclusion of XChat is a big step towards that. (Further UI setup for first boot are an issue as well, but that's a separate issue.)
