Hi, This weekend I would like to migrate the contents of https://issues.apache.org/activemq to https://issues.apache.org/jira. When ActiveMQ moved to Apache in 2006 it wasn't possible to merge JIRAs, so ActiveMQ's JIRA (like Struts, Cayenne, Ofbiz and Roller) had to live separately. A separate JIRA has always been rather non-optimal, as users need a separate (but identically named) account and get confused between systems, and it adds to the system administration burden. Since 2006 JIRA's capabilities have improved and we've worked out a process. ActiveMQ is the last separate JIRA to be merged.
Some notes on the proposed merge: - All old URLs will be preserved by httpd 301 redirects, including links to saved searches. Clients that do not automatically follow 301 redirects (RSS readers?) may need updating. - All user accounts that have seen any activity will be copied across. - If you have accounts on both systems with identical email address but non-matching usernames (eg. 'jsmith' on /activemq JIRA, 'john.smith' on /jira JIRA), your /activemq content will be owned by your /jira username. If this happens to your account you will receive an email notifying you of the account merge. - All project configuration *should* be functionally identical (but using roles instead of groups for permissions). Users are members of the same groups. Members of 'jira-administrators' are now in 'activemq-administrators' which is granted administration permissions on activemq/servicemix projects. I'd like to start the migration around 27 Nov, 02h00 GMT (http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=27&month=11&year=2010&hour=13&min=0&sec=0&p1=240). The migration is likely to take 2-5 hours during which the ActiveMQ JIRA will be available but read-only. Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions. Regards, Jeff Apache Infrastructure Team
