XEmacs support will be discontinued for new Tramp versions

Hi, I have just merged the new Tramp 2.2.13 into the XEmacs package repository. This will be the last Tramp version with XEmacs support. The reason is, that there is no benefit to keep this compatibility in Tramp. All new features which have arrived in Tramp over the last 10 years are almost useless in XEmacs, because some of the underlying magic file name operations do not exist in XEmacs (for example process-file, start-file-process), or because needed GNU Emacs packages are not available for XEmaxs (for example, dbus.el). Most of XEmacs users won't notice this stopped support, I guess. I'm willing to support Tramp 2.2.13 in the XEmacs repository in case of serious problems. And I will also keep the separate remote file name syntax ("/method:user＠host:" vs "/[method/user＠host]") in Tramp. If you ever use GNU Emacs, set `tramp-syntax' to `sep', and you should get the syntax you're used to. Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
