Migrating BerliOS to SourceForge

(1/5) > >>

Alpha:
I have been starting a few tests with with migration of the BerliOS dump files, and have run into what will likely be a major issue.  Attached files on SourceForge do not appear anywhere in the complete export.  They are only referenced by a url, but give no hint of how a file could be imported to that location.

--- End code ---

Alpha:
Another issue, is that it appears the BerliOS dump was faulty: inside bs_patches_0.1.xml, all instances of the tags status_id and category_id are empty.

Alpha:
Attached is a start at creating a conversion script (Python).  (The .patch must be applied first to remove invalid characters from the XML dump.)
Unfortunately SourceForge import does not tell you what the errors are when an import fails, so this will not be easy.

oBFusCATed:
I don't think we should do any migration at all.
We cannot match the users on the two systems, but most bugs require a dialogue with the user in order to gather more information or to understand what the problem was. Thus will end with a pile of bugs no one would bother to try to fix.

ollydbg:
@Alpha, maybe, we should ask the questions on SF, I and Morten have asked there, see:
Bug/feature reqeust move to Sourceforge

@OBF, If we don't migrate, we may lose a lot of resources(some patches, feature requests in BerliOS are very useful)
