We're much closer now to pulling the trigger on the Bugzilla to
GitHub issues migration. Robert has fixed the blocker in the app
he wrote to perform it, and he and I have both confirmed that it
works as expected on a test repository.
We have a planning session scheduled this week. Before I initiate
the migration, I need to make sure we're aware of all of the
consequences and how to handle them (e.g., dlang-bot, moving
Bugzilla to read-only, any instructions on the Wiki, etc.).
If you're aware of anything out there that we need to consider
once the issues are migrated, please let us know here.
Once we've got a handle on everything, I'll set a date to
initiate the migration. Hopefully the first or second week of
July. I plan to start with the small stuff, like tools and
visuald to make sure there are no problems with tying things off
in Bugzilla (the app won't close the migrated issues, but will
leave comments on them noting that they've been migrated, with a
link to the GH issue). I'll keep a thread running here noting
when I'm starting on each Bugzilla component (tools, phobos, dmd,
etc.) and when it's finished.
The whole process should take a few days. We have to be mindful
of rate limits on API usage, which means some of the components
will take quite a while to migrate. I doubt I'll run them all
back to back, but we'll see how it goes.
