Thank you!

[nazavode]

Hi, I would like to thank you for all the inspiration that this project gave me. In the near future I'm going to face the problem of migrating a lot (hundreds) of Trac instances over to GitLab and in the attempt to make the trac-to-gitlab code more easy to automate I think I went too far with the cleanup and refactoring process., so I decided to switch over to a brand new project, actually keeping the trac-to-gitlab refactored code as the core data extraction and migration logic. You can find the project here:

https://github.com/nazavode/tracboat

I gave it the form of a command line tool, with subcommands (a la git) and the ability to export a Trac project to a local file (in multiple human readable formats) and to migrate (a previously exported project or directly from Trac) to a mock GitLab instance (into a SQLite database) just to be able to inspect it before the actual migration in production. I kept the GPLv3 because I think I had to inherit it to be compliant and I mentioned you in the credits (in the README.rst and in the AUTHORS file as well). If you think that someone else should be mentioned please let me know or just open a pull request. Of course, code reviews, issues and pull requests are highly appreciated!

Thank you again!

Oh, I forgot to mention @slovdahl as well, this project started from his fork actually.

Hi ! Happy you found the project useful and that you made it into something cleaner :) !

To be fair, if you look at this project README, I'm not the one who started the project, I merely put it on Github and fixed bugs to be able to use it with our own trac instance.

Thanks for your work :)

Hi! So, I tried to gather some more names, I found:

• Jens Neuhalfen @neuhalje
• @tcchau (https://github.com/tcchau) of whom I cannot guess the real name

My AUTHORS file contains already some credits I found in comments throughout the code base, I'm gonna add these two as well!

[neuhalje]

Very good idea! Thanks for mentioning me!

[tcchau]

Hi there, I don't recall my participation in this project but sure, thanks for the mention! clinton.chau@utoronto.ca

@tcchau I found your username in a gist with a snippet used by some other author (@neuhalje maybe?).

[neuhalje]

I guess my contribution stems from https://github.com/neuhalje/hack-copy-track-issues-to-gitlab which has been forked several times.

[moimael]

@nazavode Do you plan on maintaining tracboat for the foreseeable future ?

Because if that's the case, i'd happily amend the README to mark this project as deprecated and redirect to yours.
I don't have any interest maintaining this anymore since our Trac to Gitlab migration was successful. Also has tracboat feature parity with trac-to-gitlab ? (I guess so but I just want to be sure :))

[neuhalje]

@moimael / @nazavode same for mine

[nazavode]

@moimael, sorry for the hiatus but in the past months I've had so little time. Anyway, yes my plan is to maintain this project in the long run and again yes, my plan is to integrate all of the trac-to-gitlab features.

[glensc]

tracboat got my improvements when @nazavode had no longer time

i've successfully migrated few dozen projects and i've added pretty much all features i had in my trac enabled (timetracking, comment linking, attachemnt linking): tracboat/tracboat#48

so there, there #32

[PhilippWendler]

It seems that tracboat still does not support using the API of a GitLab instance, right? At least, there is an open issue.
This means that all users who want to migrate to GitLab.com cannot use it and need to keep using trac-to-gitlab.
Maybe you want to add this information to the readme?

[moimael]

If anyone is willing to take ownership of this repo, I'll gladly transfer it. I have no time/interest in maintaining this project anymore.
