offline list of issues

[JensTimmerman]

We should 'back up' our issues locally (daily?)

We already have local copies of all the code and the wiki, but not of the issues. Since the gitub api allows you to get a list of the issues, we should do this daily.

In fact, we should do more, i.e. create an actual backup of everything on GitHub:

• EasyBuild repos (all branches)
• EasyBuild wiki
• EasyBuild website
• issue trackers of different repos

And possible also for our own forks of the various easybuild repos.

That way, we won't lose anything at all, ever.

getting a list of issues is easy with the github api I used https://github.com/jpaugh64/agithub (I will include a single file fork of this in easybuild/tools, since we will need for future features.) g.repos.hpcugent['easybuild-framework'].issues.get()

so

python -c "from vsc.utils.rest import RestClient; print [[r, RestClient('https://api.github.com').repos.hpcugent[r].issues.get()[1]] for r in  [str(repo['name']) for repo in RestClient('https://api.github.com').users.hpcugent.repos.get()[1]]]" > issues.json

get's us a list off all issues of hpcugent repos.
