sf2github README ================ `sf2github` is a Python program that reads an XML export from a SourceForge project and pushes this data to GitHub via its REST API. The script is currently very incomplete and barely tested. If it works for you, great; if not, fix it up and send me a pull request! Currently, only migration of tracker issues is partly implemented, and there's no error handling. Also note that the GitHub API is quite slow, taking about 5 seconds per request on my machine and internet connection. Migration of a large project will take a while. Issue migration --------------- What works (for me): * SF tracker issues become GitHub tracker issues. * Comments on SF become comments in GitHub. * Groups and categories on SF both become labels on GitHub. * Issues with a status that is exactly the text "Closed" or "Deleted" will be closed on GitHub. Limitations: * Only a single tracker is supported, though this could be easily fixed. * All issues and comments will be owned by the project's owner on GitHub, but mention the SF username of the original submitter. * There's some rubbish in the comment text sometimes (Logged In, user_id, Originator) but this is in the SF XML export. Usage ----- Run the `issues.py` script and it will print instructions. Basically, if your SF XML export is in `foo.xml`, your GitHub username is `john` and your repository is `bar`: ./issues.py foo.xml john/bar License ------- This software is in the public domain.
