JIRA to BitBucket Migration
Considerations:
- Project organization in BitBucket
- Looks like Atlassian has this all figured out... Covered here: http://go-dvcs.atlassian.com/display/aod/Configuring+a+Bitbucket+account+for+your+team
- Git or Mercurial?
- My initial inclination is to use Hg for following reasons:
- I have more experience w/ it (short sighted, I know)
- migration steps are simpler than Git based on my review of the two migration processes
- user-friendly windows clients for those not comfortable w/ command line usage
- My initial inclination is to use Hg for following reasons:
- Migrating Google Code?
- My intuition here is to do the JIRA migration alone in this release and then consider a minor release to migrate Google Code if that makes sense. This would be a bigger commitment as we are using Google Code for issue tracking as well as code hosting.
- Preventing lost edits
- We could try to sync the svn and Hg repos for a time period, but given the size of our team this is probably more overhead than necessary. My inclination here is to simply agree upon a code freeze during the migration process.
- Misc...
- Need to install {Hg/Git} client on all servers (as epilogue to deploy to 1.3.0)
- Need to update all automation scripts that pull from JIRA to use {Hg/Git}
