Migrate Eventum to Redmine.

I have migrated more stuff to the new Redmine setup. This time I pulled all issue data from an old and well used Eventum setup. I made some educated guesses about how the Eventum data was laid out and then hacked up the Redmine trac migration script until it worked for Eventum.

It’s really not a very pretty script but since I won’t be doing any more work on it I’ll release it here in the spirit of open source. Whether it works for you or not is anyone’s guess, but one thing is for sure: if it was just sitting on my hard drive it definitely would not.

Migrate MoinMoinWiki to Redmine.

Today I switched a small wiki from MoinMoin to a new Redmine setup. I couldn’t find any existing scripts to convert the wiki pages over. For a moment I thought I could do MoinMoin to Trac and Trac to Redmine but I thought better of it. It’d be a lot of work and the wiki syntax would probably be completely mangled in the process.

Instead I hacked up Carl Nygard’s MediaWiki to Redmine script. It’s an awful hack really but it worked for the pages I needed, and it does preserve revision history.

Download the script: migrate_from_moinmoin.rake
Edit the source and enter your own email address instead of admin@example.com.
Place the file in lib/tasks/ in your Redmine installation.

Run the command with

rake redmine:migrate_from_moinmoin RAILS_ENV="production"

Enter a project identifier.
Enter an absolute path to the data/pages folder of your MoinMoin install.
