If we could do a full import of trac, this may be a smootherredmine is apparently a "trac clone written in ruby". No idea if it's database-compatible, or just similar idea but full re-implementation.But really, I don't see how in the long run a separate issue tracker from Forgejo makes sense. The issue IDs will eventually clash, and integration and linking between them will be a right mess.the mix of trac and Forgejo is already a mess if theres no _clean_ way to import the tickets We would always have 15 years of ticket history outside our issue tracker if you really want to have pull requests and issues have distinct positive numbers well, make one even and the other odd above the value where they would clash so it would be 0..20k Trac 20k-25k Forgejo 25k+ even Forgejo 25k+ odd redmine
That is not something that can be done, and honestly seems a bit silly to me.
Plus the multi-account issue you mentioned.redmine can accept OAuth2/OIDC logins via plugins IIUC would need to be tested in a test setup but there seems support for shared accounts in principle
I honestly don't understand the insistence on an external issue tracker. That just makes things more complex for no real reason. And I also firmly disagree about the current setup being "a mess". With no new tickets being allowed on trac, its quite the opposite of that. If issues/tickets could be opened on both, then it'd be a mess. This way it's just a migration. And the tickets on trac won't go away, so no history will be lost.If you really want, I can import them all into Forgejo, but _that_ will be horribly messy.
