[GRASS-dev] archive of old RT bug tracker (2000-2007)

[Hamish]

Hi,

I made an archive copy of the old RT bug tracker from Intevation.de.

I've put it in  grass_RT_bug_history.tar.bz2  (2.7mb) at 
  http://grass.osgeo.org/bugtracking/grass_RT_bug_history.tar.bz2
  (or mirrors, eventually)

stats:
    * opened Dec 2000
    * closed May 2007
    * 1703 total bugs
    * 384 open bugs
    * 1312 resolved bugs
    * 7 stalled bugs

    "killed bugs" (spam) were not downloaded or archived.
    some real records include spam URLs. (spam killed RT for us)
    see getme.sh within for more.

The old RT system is closed for new bugs, but is still running. But by
now I think most of us have forgotten our passwords. (please speak up if
you can still login)


TODO: 
* export the Gforge bug archives as DB/XML/whatever; archive; and
import into the new trac system (maybe by hand if that's quicker),
closing Gforge bugs as you go. If you filed or own some still-open
bugs there it would be nice to take care of your few.

* look through the 391 open and stalled bugs in the RT list and open new
reports for still-valid issues in the new trac system. If we can find a
volunteer who can still logon then we can close some of those as
resolved+done or resolved+ported to put history right and lessen the
noise.
