After the SF hosted trac option turned out to be unusable for our
purposes (it's only trac 11.2, no plugins installable, no API or
database access etc.), I tried the second (and preferred) option for
hosting the TG tracker on SF today, the Allura tracker.
The following scripts already exist to export from Trac as JSON and then
import JSON to Allura:
http://sourceforge.net/p/allura/git/ci/e1c0a20357afc3af25f470cc3488ad3d5127c352/tree/migrate-3rdparty/
It turned out that the trac export script does not work with trac 0.10
which we are running on our old server, so as a first step I have
migrated it to trac 0.12 on my own server.
There were several more small problems with the export script which I
could fix easily. The script also stumbled over a oversized ticket
containing only Chinese spam (#852) which I have deleted already.
So I have now a ~10MB JSON file with our trac database.
Btw, there are ~1905 tickets for TG1 and ~540 tickets for TG2.
When I tried to import that to Allura, I got an "Request Entity Too
Large" error - obviously because the import script tries to import
everything with one API call only. So I modified the import script to
read the data in chunks (slicing the artifacts list), but now I only get
internal server errors with no further clue what's wrong. The error
message says more info may be available in the server error log, but
only SF staff has access to that log.
Another problem that needs to be solved if we go this way, is the user
mapping from our old Trac accounts to SF accounts. The import script has
a usermap option, and maybe we will be able to map some users through
their email addresses, but this is also something that can be only done
by SF staff.
@Mark: Any chance you will be able to solve these problems in the short
run? If not, I suggest we migrate to Florent's server for the time
being. However, since Trac cannot work with remote repositories, this
also means we will have to move the repositories there. We can consider
moving to SF at a later time again.
