+## Removed plugins
+
+We have removed the folders xdmcp, nx and st due to the fact that Gtk have deprecated the functions
+using the XEmbed protocol.
+
+These folders have been split in a new repository as shown in the following example
+
+```
+# Split of the folder plugins/st in a new branch
+git subtree split -P plugins/st -b plugins/st
+# We add the remote of the new repository
+git remote add plugins/st git@gitlab.com:Remmina/remmina-plugins.git
+# We push to the new repository
+git push plugins/st plugins/st
+# We change to the location of the local copy of git@gitlab.com:Remmina/remmina-plugins.git
+cd ../remmina-plugins/
+# The branch plugins/st does not have the folder plugins, the st source is in the root
+# The following subtree command recreate the folder structure (../Remmina is the main repo)
+git subtree add -P plugins/st ../Remmina plugins/st
+git push
+```
+
+The next step is to `git rm -r plugins/st` and if we need again `st`, it's enough to add it as a submodule:
+
+```
+git submodule add git@gitlab.com:Remmina/remmina-plugins.git plugins
+```
+
+The submodule part has to be tested as it'll cause issues with the existing files
