Test bug XML import from Redmine for OpenSatNav

I've set a few milestones on the trunk serie

Hi,

Thanks for choosing Launchpad Bugs for your bug tracking!

We have a number of bug imports going at the moment, and unfortunately, we have to do these alongside other development work. So it may be late this week or early next before we can get to your import. But we're moving through them as quickly as we can and will notify you here once we've done a test import.

Cheers,
deryck

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

I'm still waiting for the import to take place. Any news on it ?

I just tried a local import. There are many errors of the form:

InvalidName: Murphy is not a valid name for a person.

Launchpad names should be lower case in the file.

I didn't see that names should be lower case. I'll regenerate a version this evening.

Thanks

Well, a simple perl substitution did fix this. Could you please reimport the file available here :
http://blue.plicploc.net/osn-bugs.xml.gz

Many thanks.

Any updates for this? Thanks!

It's been more than one month that our project is stuck, please, could you retry the import ?

Local import fails over name issues again. foo_bar is not valid, but foo-bar would be. Please see this for formatting info:

https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/ImportFormat

Once you have another updated file, I can try again.

I've modified every '_' to '-' in names as advised, and checked every other name for validity with lpname pattern.

Names shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Could you please retry with the new file (same url as before) ?

Guillaume

Local import works fine. We cannot work on bug imports to staging this week due to the Ubuntu release and limited sys admin availability. We will take up bug imports next week, trying to get all outstanding bug import questions done.

Thanks Deryck, I just have anorther question :

the names used in the file are the login we had on our former bug tracker. As most of our users now have a real launchpad id, wouldn't it be better that I convert former redmine user names to these existing launchpad names (lpnames) ?

Hi,

Yes, it would be better to use the Launchpad names.

Cheers,
deryck

It's been done in the last version of the file.

While listing the different names used in it, I noticed that one of them was name="admin", I hope that won't be a problem.

Hi Guillaume,

I'll try to get this imported onto staging for you today; is the file above up-to-date?

With regard to your question about an "admin" user: I *think* that 'admin' is a protected name in Launchpad, so the importer might choke on it, but I won't know for sure until we try the import on staging.

Hi Graham,

Yes, the above file is up-to-date, it shouldn't change from now on except if something keeps the import from completing.

Thanks

Okay, I'll try to get that onto staging for you today.

Verified again locally; I'll try to get it onto staging this afternoon depending upon sysadmin availability.

This has now been imported into bugs.staging.launchpad.net/opensatnav. Please let us know if there are any problems with the import or if we can proceed with the import to production.

A few bug still exist (almost all bugs are marked as CRITICAL, 2 users need to be renamed to their existing LP username), I'm working on a new file and tell you once it's ready (tomorrow or Wednesday)

A new file is available,
  - with 86 empty comments removed,
  - bug importances fixed (no more critical)
  - LP usernames for willu and Murphy changed.

This file seems to be final, could you please reimport it on staging to check if it can be imported in production ?

This has now been reimported into staging. We can import it into production once you confirm you're happy with it.

That's ok for us, you can import this file into production. Many thanks.

Thanks Graham Binns, that solved my question.
