[Scons-dev] Migrating issues from Tigris to GitHub

[Andrew Featherstone]

Hi All,

I've been working on how we can migrate the Tigris issues to GitHub. You
can see the output of this at https://github.com/ajf58/tigris-sandbox/issues,
To ensure that we're not relying on issue attachments being hosted at
Tigris, which looks to be deserted by its owners (no tweets since 2013
https://twitter.com/tigrisdotorg?lang=en, for example), the issue
attachments are also migrated to GitHub (
https://github.com/ajf58/tigris-issue-attachments). The source code used
for doing this can be found at https://github.com/ajf58/tigris-to-github.

I think the next steps are:

   1. Members of this list review the format of the migrated issues and
   offer feedback.
   2. Act on feedback.
   3. Get feedback on the scons-user mailing list.
   4. Migrate issues to https://github.com/SCons/scons

The migration process takes ~2 hours currently. This is largely due to the
rate limits GitHub imposees on their REST API. GitHub allows temporary
restrictions to be imposed on the repo, so we can do that while the
migration takes place.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Andrew
