将 Bugzilla 问题迁移到 github 问题跟踪器

Question

I would like to migrate all my Bugzilla issues to an Issue Tracker at github.com ( Example ) (you get an issue tracker per repository).

1) Are there tools out there?

2) How did you do it?

Thanks for any advices, I will write a summary at the end how I finally did it (hopefully not manually!)

Answer 1

You need to export your issues from Bugzilla, and then use the GitHub API to upload the issues into GitHub:

http://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#create-an-issue

(note that the old issue-import through GitHub support channels is discontinued)

This does mean your issue numbers will change, so you might want to append a 'Bugzilla-Id' footer to your issue description, so you can use GitHub's free-text search on issues to find them from the old Bugzilla ids.

As far as exporting your data from Bugzilla goes, I think your options are:

• Bugzilla's HTML export
• Bugzilla JSON-RPC
• Connecting directly to the bugzilla database

Good luck! If you do write an export script, I'd encourage you to open-source it on GitHub!

Answer 2

I recently encountered the same problem trying to migrate Bugzilla issues of a W3C project to GitHub, so I ended up

• Writing a RESTful API wrapper , that scrapes the Bugzilla (the W3C bugzilla has the API disabled)
• Writing a hackish CoffeeScript program/script to use that wrapper and create the issues on GitHub.

I hope that my script can be easily modified to fit the purposes of you, too.

I wrote a Perl script to handle this last year; effectively you save the bugs you want as XML via Bugzilla's built-in UI for it, and the script uploads them as individual issues.

It uses Net::GitHub::V2 for the uploading API and GitHub's oauth system for authentication. It reads the user and repo config from the environment by default because I was running it from other scripts; but all the variables are at the top of the script if you want to customise.

You can do that with the help of Bondable https://web.archive.org/web/20160304172242/http://www.bondable.com/integrations/p/services/bugzilla

You can actually create a lot of integrations with Bugzilla
