This script was used to migrate data of our trac installation (around 1'800 tickets) to Github Issues. It writes json files as specified in APIv3. Partially based on github-trac-ticket-import by @adamcik.
The basic assumptions made should be documented in convert.py.
You will definitely need to edit data.py, which we didn't bother converting to YAML.
Find below documentation for our specific migration needs and the MIT license.
Edit tracdump.py and modify the configuration options.
Execute python2 tracdump.py -u <trac_username> -p <trac_password>. When this is done (it will take some time to dump the tickets) you will have a <repo>/tickets.p file as well as a bunch of list files in your <repo>/ directory. Use the list files to build your data.py file.
Edit convert.py and modify any configuration options you need to.
Execute python2 convert.py.
When everything looks good (you might not want to include all the list files generated by tracdump.py):
tar -czf fife.tar.gz <repo>/
And bother a poor github admin once more!
