Re: Merging/combining two Reviewboard servers together

[Rob Petti]

Thanks, Christian! I suspected as much. Import/export may help with doing
this, but we'll discuss internally to see how we want to proceed. Worse
case, we'll just run and maintain multiple instances.

Thanks again!

Re: Merging/combining two Reviewboard servers together

[Christian Hammond]

Hi Rob,

Sorry for the late response here.

There isn't really a way of doing this right now. We do have import/export
capabilities being worked on for Power Pack, but as review requests rely on
IDs, and two cannot share the same IDs, you'll be limited to one of two
options:

1. Changing the IDs on all review requests being merged in.
2. Putting the review requests in their own Local Site (a sort of
self-contained partition within a Review Board server). This would alter
the URLs, but preserve the review request IDs. The IDs for reviews,
comments, etc. would not be preserved.

This feature is still in development. We've been working with support
customers on testing it as we continue to develop it. If you were to use
it, I'd advise testing it thoroughly on a test copy of the server and
databases.

Christian

Re: Review Board upgrade from 2.5.17 to 3.0.19

[Christian Hammond]

Hi Saurabh,

We just released 3.0.20, which tightens up some of these dependencies, and
should hopefully fix up the install on your system . You'd want a fresh new
copy of the database. If you're using a VM or something, it'll be good to
start the server over just to ensure there aren't any bad dependencies on
there.

 Can you give me details in the packages that you had to manually
 resolve? It looks like you may have had some bad versions at the end that
 led to this, given the errors.

 Was this on your production server? Do you have a backup! If not, you
 might need to schedule a database repair with us.

New releases: Review Board 3.0.20 and 4.0 Beta 2

[Christian Hammond]

Hi everyone,

We put out two new releases last night.

3.0.20 has some bug fixes, performance improvements, and fixes up some of
our dependencies to ease new installs on Python 2.7.

4.0 Beta 2 fixes a number of regressions noted in Beta 1 (installation
issues, Postgres compatibility in one case, LDAP and Active Directory
compatibility), polishes up some features, and adds new automation options
for rb-site (custom settings templates and explicit SECRET_KEYs).
