Closed blitz closed 12 years ago
Damn, now I have migrated the issues using a python script (https://raw.github.com/mkorenkov/tools/master/gh-issues-import/gh-issues-import.py), but it has no support for migrating comments and only migrated the open ones. And, I one can't even delete issues :(
Please give https://github.com/contact a try. I have only positive experience with the Githubbers.
That's a good idea. I've sent them a message.
They replied that the only way is currently to use the public API like the mentioned python script does. Therefore I've adjusted the script a bit to support comments and closed issues. This worked quite well. Of course its not perfect since the date and author information is lost. Additionally one can't choose the issue number so that I couldn't prevent that the numbers don't match with that in the commits anymore. But I think having them here in a limited way is better than not having them :) I've now disabled the issue tracker in Nils-TUD/NRE to prevent confusion.
Thx!
Issues still link to the now non-existent issue tracker.
What links do you mean? The links in commit messages? Since I can't change the issue numbers, the only way would be to use rebase to redo all commits since the first issue-link. That will be quite a few and I'm not sure if we want that.
An example would be edce63409eca33450d2f9029dbd8503f5ace546f, it still links to your old issue tracker. I am not sure how to fix that.
Ok. It seems the cache has cleared itself during the night or something. The effect is gone. ;)
According to Github support, old issues will always link to the old issue tracker. That probably is no issue any more, when we've fixed all of those. ;-)
We should migrate the remaining issues in Nils-TUD/NRE to TUD-OS/NRE. Otherwise bug numbers in commit messages are confused.
