Migrate from trac
0%
Description
Redmine looks very nice. Most ruby/rails projects I see online use trac for PM and so do my internal projects. I'd like
to be able to migrate my projects to redmine.
Maybe there's already a way to do this I haven't seen yet. If there is it should be declared as a feature on the redmine
home page. Otherwise it would be wonderful if you could do this.

Thanks for your interest :-)
No, there's no way for now. Even if the 2 models are not so different
(Tickets > Issues, Components -> Categories, Milestones> Versions ...), it would be a substantial work.
And if you want to keep full details, like ticket history, it
would be much harder.
I'm not a Trac expert, so if you have any idea/proposal, you're
welcome!

We're looking at transferring data from our existing Jira server.
We plan on writing scripts to extract the data using Jira's APIs
and then upload into the redMine DB.
The process may be a easier and more future-proof if redMine
had a SOAP or REST API for uploading various parts of the models,
for example, an issue with all history. The onus would be upon
the importer to extract the data from the other system, transform
it into the correct format, and then upload it to the redMine
API.
Other people have already written scripts to migrate from Trac
to Jira (http://code.google.com/p/trac2jira/), so anything is
possible :)
