Re: [Buildroot] [PATCH] docs, package/gcc: switch to Gitlab issue tracker

["Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Thomas, All,

On 2024-05-14 10:58 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni via buildroot spake thusly:

It would have been nice if you had suggested a plan to deal with the
existing issues.

We can extract the list of bugs from Bugzilla (as CSV):
    https://bugs.busybox.net/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__all__&limit=0&list_id=26023&product=buildroot&query_format=specific&ctype=csv&human=1

And then we can extract individual bugs (as XML):
    https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?ctype=xml&id=3

Gitlab can import from CSV:
    https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/csv_import.html

However, the Gitlab import is ultra limited: it can only import issues
as a title, a description, a due date (optional), and a milestone
(optional).

There is no place for comments, attachments, status...

So, what do we do for the existing issues?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
