Trac Import into BitBucket

[Sylvain Hellegouarch]

Hi folks,

I'm part of the team maintaining the CherryPy project [1] and we wish to
migrate to Mercurial and BitBucket.

I was able to convert the svn repo to mercurial and push everything to
bitbucket [2].

I then tried to write a script to migrate Trac tickets and Wikis but it
appears the BitBucket API doesn't provide a way to create comment to
issues.

I feel like I'm stuck and would like to know what alternatives I have? I
read that the BitBucket team had a set of scripts to perform the migration,
is that right? How could I make that request on behalf of the CherryPy
project?

Cheers,

Hi Sylvain,

We do plan to add an API method for adding comments on Bitbucket, but
it's not complete at this time. In the meantime if you send your
trac.db to support-HWgY0/vhk/***@public.gmane.org we'll try to import it.

Is this an option for paying private repos too?

We use trac with svn, tickets + wiki. I really need to move the tickets, it
is about 2000 with many screenshots as attachements.

The same applies to private repos. Please send your trac.db and your
compressed attachments directory to support-HWgY0/vhk/***@public.gmane.org and we'll try
to import it. If it's larger than 25mb you could also create a
repository on Bitbucket and use our 'uploads' feature. We can do the
import into a test repository, show it to you, and if it looks good
import it into a repository of your choice. We can discuss all of this
in further detail off list.

Thank you Charles.

The SVN archive, should I import that myself, i.e. either follow the
instructions at

http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Converting+from+Subversion+to+Mercurial

or

https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/3090/import-svn-to-new-git-repository-bb-2505

Is the trac import different if I choose git or mercurial?

Actually, yes. We have not yet updated our Trac import script to work
with Git. Currently it only works with Mercurial.

Hi all,

I just got in the need of get Trac issues imported to a bitbucket repo. So,
before I write my own program, I decided to search if it was not done
before and got to this thread. Someone has some script to share or have
some tips on how to get to it fast?

Thanks in advance

Hi Sylvain,

Thanks for the fast answer. I'm having the feeling I will have to
write some script. It is a old repo that I'm putting up alive again
and want to put in a more friendly platform.

I think I'll try to make it with SQL, create a CSV and then export to
json to upload to bitbucket repo later

Virgílio

Hi Virgilio,
I'm afraid I don't have any script. It was a couple of years ago. I think in
the end BitBucket helped us I can't tell whether or not they still do these
days from Trac.
Good luck.
