R – Migration To Trac

bugzillamediawikimigrationtrac

We are managing our development with Subversion over HTTPS, Bugzilla, and Mediawiki. Some of our developers have expressed an interest in migrating to Trac, so I have to evaluate what the cost of doing so would be.

For both the wiki and bugzilla, we would need to either migrate the existing data into Trac or a way to integrate with trac. Having two apps to create wiki pages or log bugs would not be acceptable. Also, currently each of these applications requires a separate sign on so we would need to map each of these accounts into Trac.

So know of any easy methods of importing or integrating these systems with Trac and/or a tutorial for doing so?

For Bugzilla, Trac has a script bugzilla2trac.py that will automate the process of importing Bugzilla bugs to Trac tickets for you. Of course, Trac doesn't have support for blocking/blockedby tickets out of the box, so if you want to import this data too, you'll have to use the MasterTicketsPlugin and then modify the script yourself (which is what we did when we migrated).

Php – How to update Bugzilla bugs from bash and php scripts

According to the Bugzilla WebServices API, some of the features needed (e.g. changing a bug status) are not yet available, so for the time being, direct SQL calls seem the most appropriate option.

The database schema has not changed significantly between version 3.0 and 3.2 so this is a practical way forward.

Ruby-on-rails – How to write a migration to rename an ActiveRecord model and its table in Rails

Here's an example:

class RenameOldTableToNewTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def self.up
    rename_table :old_table_name, :new_table_name
  end

  def self.down
    rename_table :new_table_name, :old_table_name
  end
end

I had to go and rename the model declaration file manually.

Edit:

In Rails 3.1 & 4, ActiveRecord::Migration::CommandRecorder knows how to reverse rename_table migrations, so you can do this:

class RenameOldTableToNewTable < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    rename_table :old_table_name, :new_table_name
  end 
end

(You still have to go through and manually rename your files.)
