I am working on migrating Tahoe-LAFS Trac to GitLab. If Twisted wants to use GitLab instead, I'll probably eventually have a tool that makes this an easy transition. If not, I'll at least have a tool that loads everything from a trac project environment into an in-memory model where it's easier to transform into something else.

I saw this project which does Trac to GitLab migration: https://github.com/tracboat/tracboat
I didn't have time to check it out, but even when migrating to GitHub, I was thinking that some code can be reused from there. For example converting from TracWiki markup to Markdown.
Yes, that project exists. It's not a good fit for the Tahoe-LAFS migration. Maybe it will work for Twisted though. And as you point out, maybe it has components that are helpful even if the tool as a whole isn't.
Jean Paul, have you managed to do the migration from Trac to GitLab for the Tahoe tickets? Was it a smooth migration ?
I haven't done this migration yet. It's sort of a mid-level priority for the Tahoe project so it isn't moving along very quickly.
For my company we have migrated from Trac Tickets to GitHub (multi-repo). It was not a perfect migration ... but it was not that bad. With the bulk import API we managed to keep the creation date for each comment.
I'm curious if you wrote any software to produce a neutral-format representation of Trac state as part of this migration effort or if you just went straight from Trac to GitHub? (ie, I wonder if you made any tools I can leverage for a different Trac migration) Jean-Paul
The Trac tickets that had the same ID as GitHub PR were migrated last. In this way we preserve the ID of most of the tickets
Also, we plan to keep the legacy Trac instance in read only mode for the near future.
The trac ticket have a reference like trac#1234 in the comments and with GitHub autolinks we automatically get a link
Btw. This is already enabled on twisted/twisted trac#123 → https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/123
We also moved the wiki to GitHub Wiki .. we lost some nice features from Trac Wiki macros ...but that was not a big deal.
The code is here https://github.com/chevah/trac-to-github/pull/13
Ah - a quick skim of this code suggests the answer to my question above is no. Okay. :) Jean-Paul
