Hello all,
As briefly discussed towards the end of this evening's FAmNA meeting, I
noted that the bug that was blocking us from testing a migration to
Pagure from Trac was fixed. I've created a ticket explaining the full
details of this migration and how it would work in the ticket.
We can vote on this ticket at the next meeting, but if you will not be
able to attend, feel free to leave a vote in the ticket. Since this is a
major change from a tool we've been using for over half a decade, I
figured it was worth highlighting this ticket on the mailing list.
After we have migrated our Trac, I would like to offer advice and
guidance to other regions looking to migrate in the coming future so
everyone can try to be on the same page (this is also a big opportunity
for all of the regions to follow the same format and help keep a "single
user experience" for all Ambassadors around the world in terms of what
tools we use and how we use them).
Thanks everyone. :)

#159: Migrating to Pagure

= Phenomenon =
On February 28, 2017, [
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org
/fedorahosted-sunset-2017-02-28/ FedoraHosted is retiring] and will be set
into read-only mode. FAmNA needs to migrate our Trac to Pagure to ensure
we can continue working after Trac closes.
= Analysis =
A blocking bug was recently fixed in the [
https://pagure.io/pagure-
importer pagure-importer] tool that was preventing the data from being
migrated. Now, this bug has been fixed and a first "test run" of the
migration is available in the staging version of Pagure. You can find the
**[https://stg.pagure.io/stg-famna/issues test repository for FAmNA
here]**.
While the formatting for tickets has changed from wiki formatting to
markdown, the change is relatively minor. All things like attachments to
tickets (e.g. PDFs, images, etc.) have also imported.
Just like how Trac has things like milestones, severity, and priorities,
this can be replicated in Pagure. In the repository settings, we can use
milestones and roadmaps for tracking tickets for each release cycle (see:
[
https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/roadmap example roadmap]). Tickets can
also be assigned severity levels for issues that need to be addressed
sooner than others.
Trac milestones would become Pagure tags. Issues can be tagged in a
variety of ways, e.g. "event", "meeting", "open",
"budget", or any other
amount of ways we choose. Multiple tags can be used for a ticket. A good
example of how this would look is in the [
https://pagure.io/fedora-
commops/issues CommOps Pagure].
If approved, I will migrate the FAmNA Trac to Pagure, set up the tags and
milestones as described above, and set this Trac instance as read-only.
After a month of using Pagure, we can request the FAmNA Trac URL to
redirect to our Pagure.
= Implementation =
1. FAmNA votes +1/-1 for migrating to Pagure after our next meeting.
2. Trac is imported into a Pagure repository.
3. New Pagure repository is set up with tags, milestones, and priorities
similar to our Trac.
4. Current Ambassadors are added to a FAmNA "group" in Pagure.
5. This Trac instance is set as read-only.
6. After one month to ensure everything is working as expected, we request
the FAmNA Trac URL redirects to Pagure (if for some reason data needs to
be recovered, it will still exist in Fedora Infra).
