In mbojan/trac2gh: Assisting Migrating Code and Tickets from Trac to GitHub

Tools assisting migration of stuff from Trac to GitHub

This is an R package assiting semi-automatic migration of tickets/milestones/code from Subversion+Trac setup to GitHub.

Migrating from Trac+SVN to GitHub usually involves moving the following items:

• milestones
• tickets
• code, stored in SVN

(more details will follow soon)

Highlights

• Trac pseudo-API allowing fetching milestone and ticket data from Trac non-interactively: trac_api(), get_trac_tickets(), get_trac_milestones()
• Converting milestones and tickets to GitHub milestones and issues adding cross-system links etc.: make_gh_issues(), make_gh_milestones()
• Pushing created milestones and issues directly to GitHub: push_gh_milestones(), push_gh_issues().
• Filtering commit messages and replacing ticket references with issue references: make_script

Dim lights

• There is a Trac XML-RPC Plugin that seems to allow downloading at least some that information in a machine-readable format (XML). Handling this is not yet implemented.
• User with administrative rights in Trac seems to be able to create "dumps" using trac-admin command. Handling such files is not yet implemented.
