Hi RTEMS Community

GitLab transition is progressing better than we expected and we are now at a
point where we want to move the tickets in Trac to GitLab. A lot of preparation
has been done in planning the move and an outcome we had not planned is the time
it will take is much more. The original plan was updating the database in Trac
and importing into GitLab however this will not work and we need to break the
tickets up into the various project parts, import and update in GitLab. The time
required to do this is longer than expected.

There are a number of complicating factors migrating the tickets as the separate
projects we will have based on the breakdown of the repos have their own ticket
database. The user accounts we have will not be migrated so you can create your
account when the time comes so when we import the tickets the current owners
will not be available.

We believe it will take around 3 weeks to migrate the data if all goes as
planned. The ticket database will be captured on 29th March 2024 and Trac will
remain open for ticket updating however the changes will not be part of the move
to GitLab. If you update a ticket or push a commit that updates a ticket you
will need to migrate the changes to the GitLab ticket when it is available.
Trac’s Timeline tool can be used to find and review what has changed.
