For now, the funds were raised to migrate to GitHub, so we can not use them to do other things. > I have experience with migrating a ticket database and wiki from > Trac -> Redmine for https://bugs.freenas.org, while the repository was on > GitHub, and migrating > the commit triggers so that commits on GitHub updated the ticket database > in Redmine. We will stay on Trac for issues... at least for now. I have no idea how we can migrate to any issue tracker without losing data if we don't have full access to the database. All cloud based API don't allow us to impersonate users, so we will lose the author information. This is one reason why I started this conversation. If you know how we can migrate to GitHub issues or GitLab or any other bug track system without losing data please let us know. > In addition to doing SVN -> Git, is the Twisted project interested > in doing Trac -> GitHub for the tickets *and* wiki?

The requirement is to not disrupt the dev process and to not lose data/metadata. GitHub issues are pretty basic and we have little control over them.... so at least in the first phase we will not try to migrate to GitHub issues. We will just move to cloud based Git hosting as main repo ... and see how we can migrate form a system based on shell-scripts hooks to web-hooks. I see it as a good thing, as it will leave the door open for GitLab or other platforms. -- Adi Roiban _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
