[Pragyan-Developers] Tragit : Script for migration of Trac tickets to Github Issues

[Abhishek S. <i.a...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

Since we are in the process of formally moving to Github from Sourceforge,
I've wrote a script that would migrate tickets from Sourceforge TRAC to
GIthub Issues. (Thanks to Boopathi for pointing out this pending issue to
me).

Please find it here : https://github.com/abhishekdelta/tragit  (I named it
'Tragit', derived from 'TRAc to GIThub')

The script is very generic and configurable so that it supports all forms of
Trac data. For Pragyan CMS, I've modified the Report 9 of Trac to generate
the proper CSV file with all the data we need to create equivalent issues in
Github.

However, there are 2 things left:

1) User assignment

So currently, I'm not sure how the Github Issues assign feature works.
Because you cannot just randomly assign someone to some ticket. Can anyone
please find out and tell me what is the requirement for the user to be able
to assigned a ticket to. I suspect he should be a developer in some way,
either have made some commits or have forked the repository atleast. I need
to to know that.

2) Comments in Tickets

As of now, my script will only move Tickets and its description and other
details like milestone, priority, assigned to, severity, etc. But it won't
fetch the comments and discussions made on that ticket. So does anyone have
any idea how can we fetch those comments from Trac without having to access
the DB ?

I'll be running the script in the Integriti/Pragyan repository day after
tomorrow. Also, I'll be needing the Github username of all Pragyan
developers and contributors (as in Sourceforge).

Regards.
