Hi all, The project got contacted briefly via IRC by the Bugzilla project, and they also tried posting to our mailing list but email got rejected. I got a copy of their post, and just reposting it in full on their behalf - see below.
:::simon ---------- Hello Trac devs, Odd Simon Simonsen told me to post this here (I'm not in this mailing- list, so don't forget to CC me when replying): Bugzilla developers had a brief discussion a few days ago about how to easily export/import bug data from one bug tracking system (Bugzilla, Trac, Mantis, others?) to another one. Bugzilla can already exchange bug data with another Bugzilla installation, but is unable to do it with e.g. Trac. The idea would be to agree on a common file format (e.g. XML) which could be generated by one BTS and be easily understood and parsed by another one, for insertion into their installation. XML-RPC could be another way to exchange data. The problem is that Bugzilla developers have no idea about how Trac works, what kind of data it needs to import stuff, nor which fields you need to be defined. I guess Trac developers have the same problem with our own tools. Note that I'm talking about copying/moving bug data from one BTS to another one, not to sync data between both BTS in real time, which is harder. Would Trac developers be interested in such a project, i.e. discuss and agree on some way to move data from one BTS to another one? Or do you have no interest in this kind of collaboration? Thanks for reading this, and I wish you a Merry Christmas, Frédéric Buclin Assistant Project Lead for the Bugzilla project http://www.bugzilla.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
