[Scons-dev] Bugtracker and stuff...

[Dirk Bächle]

Hi there,

I'm currently wading through our issue list at tigris.org, trying to 
clean things up a little (closing resolved bugs and such...). Sorry, if 
this creates some noise on the corresponding mailing list...

I found issue #2739, which is in state "STARTED" but assigned to 
"issues at scons"...so nobody effectively. I think that only "NEW" or 
"REOPENED" issues should be assigned to "issues at scons", leaving the 
question how to resolve this? Can someone take it?

Further stirring up old topics ;), I pondered over the bugtracker 
migration task again. For the issue interface to OpenHatch, I now have a 
bug importer ready. It's capable of scraping our whole issue database 
(2947+ issues) from tigris.org to a single JSON file in about 7 minutes. 

>From there it wouldn't be much effort to push all the data via xmlrpc 

into a roundup ( http://www.roundup-tracker.org ) instance, for example. 
I'm not sure what our options are for adding new "services" to our web 
hosting. But roundup allegedly runs standalone, as well as via 
"mod_python", using WSGI or through CGI. Maybe we could host this ourselves?
Even if it's just to get away from Tigris *now*...as a first step. We 
might have to migrate further, later on. But then we're in a much better 
position (Python-based tracker, support for xmlrpc) to pull all our data 
out again, and convert it into a possibly new format.

Just as an idea...

Best regards,

Dirk
