Hey folks,
We're working on getting
fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki moved over to Github, because
that's where our code lives. One of the requirements we have, is to move our existing
large-ish Trac wiki, and all 8 years of its history, over to github, and transform it from
Trac markup to Markdown markup.
While there are a couple of attempts at this out on the web, they're generally only
concerned with most-recent-version, and have a variety of limitations. So I pulled
together some python to automate as much of the process as I could manage in a few days.
Since I expect there are other Trac wikis out there that are in the same boat, I figured
y'all might want to take a look at the tool I threw together:
https://github.com/ggainey/tracwiki2githubwiki
You can see its output in my clone of the spacewalk project:
https://github.com/ggainey/spacewalk/wiki/WikiStart
(Note: That content will disappear and reappear occasionally, as I blow it away and
regenerate it while testing)
I am certain this code needs...help (among other things, programming in Python, Java,
PL/SQL, and Perl on a daily basis means my coding-style kinda sucks, and is def. not very
Python-y) However, it does a reasonably good job, and I hope it'll be useful to some
of the other folk still managing their migration Elsewhere.
If/when/as you find problems with the tool, feel free to open an Issue on github.
Thanks, and enjoy,
G
(PS - If you want to hear me babble about it in a quick demo for my team, this link should
be public:

Requires Flash, alas
