To Migrate Issues or not to Migrate Issues that is the question ?

[Tyrel Alastair Hunter]

Hello Everyone, 

I have been working today to determine if it is possible to migrate all our issues, milestone from Launchpad to github. Here is a sample project that I have created to demonstrate the capability of the migration scripts. I would like to know what everyone else's thoughts are. 

Is it valuable to migrate the milestones, and the issues from launchpad -> github?

Do you see any reasons why we should not migrate the issues -> github?

Any other questions or comments related to the migration?

you can look at the sample migration project here:

Hi All,

I think Tyrel's subject line states the question incorrectly.

We will migrate issues to GitHub. It's a question of which issues and how we do it.

Currently, all open issues for nunit-console, nunit-gui and nunit-vs-adapter are on GitHub. The nunit-framework issues are partially done: the ones remaining are the low priority and new issues and I'll continue to move those. Closed issues are not on GitHub.

The "migration" I have been doing is to manually create an issue, and copy the title and description. Every issue on GitHub contains a link back to Launchpad. Every migrated launchpad issue contains a link to the github version and has a tag of 'github'. I didn't duplicate comments: I figure we can just follow the links and I tried to use different language to indicate that there was a discussion on github in each case.

As for milestones, I don't know if that's desirable. We never did it when we moved to Launchpad from Sourceforge and it has not caused a problem.

Personally, I see little incremental benefit from doing a more thorough automated migration, but I'm willing to be convinced. I think this is a different thing from migrating the source code history, which has obvious benefits.

I ask one thing, however. Let's not just have an abstract discussion. Go and use what's already migrated before theorizing about what problems may exist!

This applies to the build as well!

Charlie
