     39 * bug activity (field changes)
     40 * bug attachments

    3243The script provides a number of features to ease the conversion, such as:
    33 
    34   * PRODUCT_KEYWORDS:  Trac doesn't have the concept of products, so the script provides the ability to attach a ticket keyword instead.
    35 
    36   * IGNORE_COMMENTS:  Don't import Bugzilla comments that match a certain regexp.
    37 
    38   * STATUS_KEYWORDS:  Attach ticket keywords for the Bugzilla statuses not available in Trac.  By default, the 'VERIFIED' and 'RELEASED' Bugzilla statuses are translated into Trac keywords.
     44 * PRODUCT_KEYWORDS: Trac has no concept of products, so the script provides the ability to attach a ticket keyword instead.
     45 * IGNORE_COMMENTS: Don't import Bugzilla comments that match a certain regexp.

     80Since Trac uses a SQL database to store the data, you can also custom-import from other systems by examining the database tables. Just go into [https://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html sqlite] command line to look at the tables and import them from your application.

    80 == Jira ==
     82=== Comma delimited file - CSV
    8183
    82 The [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/JiraToTracIntegration Jira2Trac plugin] provides you with tools to import Atlassian Jira backup files into Trac.
     84See [trac:attachment:csv2trac.2.py:wiki:TracSynchronize csv2trac.2.py] for details. This approach is particularly useful if you need to enter a large number of tickets by hand. Note that the ticket type type field, (task etc.) is also needed for this script to work with more recent Trac releases.
    8385
    84 The plugin consists of a Python 3.1 commandline tool that:
     86Comments on script: The script has an error on line 168: 'Ticket' needs to be 'ticket'. Also, the listed values for severity and priority are swapped.
    8587
    86  - Parses the Jira backup XML file
    87  - Sends the imported Jira data and attachments to Trac using the [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin XmlRpcPlugin]
    88  - Generates a htpasswd file containing the imported Jira users and their SHA-512 base64 encoded passwords

    94 === Using a comma delimited file - CSV ===
    95 See [http://trac.edgewall.org/attachment/wiki/TracSynchronize/csv2trac.2.py] for details.  This approach is particularly useful if one needs to enter a large number of tickets by hand. (note that the ticket type type field, (task etc...) is also needed for this script to work with more recent Trac releases)
    96 Comments on script: The script has an error on line 168, ('Ticket' needs to be 'ticket').  Also, the listed values for severity and priority are swapped.
    97 
    98 === Using an Excel (.xls) or comma delimited file (.csv) ===
    99 This plugin http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketImportPlugin lets you import into Trac a series of tickets from a CSV file or (if the xlrd library is installed) from an Excel file.
    100 
    101 You can also use it to modify tickets in batch, by saving a report as CSV, editing the CSV file, and re-importing the tickets.
    102 
    103 This plugin is very useful when starting a new project: you can import a list of requirements that may have come from meeting notes, list of features, other ticketing systems... It's also great to review the tickets off-line, or to do massive changes to tickets.
    104 
    105 Based on the ticket id (or, if no id exists, on the summary) in the imported file, tickets are either created or updated.
