NOTICE: DSpace issue tracker is moving from JIRA to GitHub Issues on August 30

[Tim Donohue]

All,

Over a year ago, the DSpace 7 team moved all development activities into GitHub Projects and Issues. On August 30, we will finalize this migration by moving all historical DSpace tickets from JIRA to GitHub Issues.

What will change on August 30?

• DSpace JIRA (https://jira.lyrasis.org/projects/DS/issues) will no longer accept new issues. Existing JIRA issues will longer be editable but will remain read-only for a month (or so) before they are permanently deleted.
• All historical (closed and open) JIRA tickets will be migrated into https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues
• These migrated tickets will all start with the old JIRA ticket ID (e.g. [DS-1234]), making it easier to still cross reference older tickets by JIRA IDs when necessary.

What does this mean for you?

• Effective immediately, if you find a new bug/issue in DSpace (v1.x to 7.x), please report it in GitHub: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues
• As always, if you notice a security issue, we ask that you report this privately via email to secu...@dspace.org for initial analysis.
• Even after JIRA is gone, you may continue to use your Wiki/JIRA account to modify Wiki pages and/or DSpace documentation. DSpace documentation, meeting notes, etc will continue to live in the Wiki (https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE).

If there are any questions, feel free to let me know!

All,

I wanted to report that the migration to GitHub Issues has completed.  All historical JIRA tickets (dating back to 1.x.x) have been migrated into https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues

For those interested in taking a look, here's a few extra details:

• All old JIRA issues were imported under a "dspace-bot" user account, so the full list of imported issues can be found by filtering by that creator: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues?q=is%3Aissue+author%3Adspace-bot
• Issue titles, descriptions, comments, labels & milestones were all migrated. The original JIRA author can be found in the text of comments.  
• Issues with no activity in over 3 years were closed automatically.  However, if any are found to still be valid, we can easily reopen at any time.
• JIRA is still available (https://jira.lyrasis.org/projects/DS/issues) but is now read-only.  It will be removed entirely later this year.​

We will be continuing some cleanup and reorganization of the migrated issues in the coming days. In the meantime, let us know if there are any questions or you notice issues from the migration.

Thanks,

Tim
