phenomenon

The Pagure Importer tool recently added support for attachments. The CommOps Trac can migrate to Pagure.

background analysis

All fedorahosted.org instances (including Trac) is targeted to become obsolete in 2017. This means all existing instances will be moved or removed. Migrating on our own will save us time in the future, give us time to adapt to a new tool, and save work for the Fedora Infrastructure team later on.

The tool was demonstrated by @cverna in Exhibit A (excluding tags in import) and Exhibit B (including tags in import). A fair amount of manual work in updating tags, milestones, and priorities will be needed, but it's better to begin doing that now than even months later.

implementation recommendation

1. Play with test repos a little more to figure out how we could adapt Pagure to our needs
2. Set target date for migration (two weeks from today?)
3. At date, move to new, official repository
4. Verify successful migration (all tickets present? all attachments moved? all data accounted for?)
5. Update tags, milestones, priorities, other settings for Pagure
6. Give Trac one more month just in case of any mishaps, ensure all team documentation points to Pagure instead of Trac
7. Request closure of Trac instance
