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.
To clarify, will the existing XEmacs code remain, or are you planning to
remove that in future release?
The reason is, that there is no benefit to keep this compatibility
in
Tramp.
There is for (S)XEmacs users and developers. :-)
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.
My guess is that these things simply haven't made anyone here itchy
enough to scratch.
