[gdal-dev] Trac to GitHub

[Even Rouault]

Mateuze,

Answering several of your points of your last emails;

>> 3) Close all Trac tickets with assignment to a "closed-before-github-
>> migration" milestone, and a message "Issue reporting has now been migrated >to
> https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/issues..."
>
>I guess, you mean manual action

Manual action, but lukily to be done just once for all tickets (batch action)

Basically open
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&max=1000

and if you have the sufficient rights, click on the top-left checkbox to select all the tickets,
go to the bottom to the "Batch modify" tab, and define a milestone, add a comment and click on "Change tickets"
So a 1-minute action.

Huh that's just my-not-so-idiomatic Python hacking to parse the old commit message and change it ;-)

I did try to avoid rewriting those commit messages that refered to the old (and now disappeared) bugzilla

Yes the point is to make it obvious that those are references to Trac and not github issues.

I'm preparing a RFC to summarize various aspects and have some official plan that can be discussed.
