Hi guys,
I think some of us would like to move to redmine and start using public tickets more
frequently. So in case we move there are some topics to be discussed and I would like to
start with a couple of them right now.
Tickets:
Redmine has a global linear sequence of ticket numbers. If we move from many tracs to a
single redmine we can either:
* not import tickets
* only import from one project
* deal with changing ticket numbers
In terms of installations the GMR trac is broken in regard to tickets, there are some for
SDR that are probably not being fixed anytime soon, baseband might be relevant and OpenBSC
is unlikely to be relevant. I don't think we have ever used ticket reference in
OpenBSC commit messages so in terms of OpenBSC having changing ticket numbers would not be
a big deal. E.g. we could add a custom field with the old trac number?
Wiki:
We have external references that should be redirected to the new place. Is there any way
besides maintaining a list in the apache2/nginx configuration and making redirects as we
find broken references? Can we proactively manage this? Is anybody willing to come up with
a script and nginx configuration for doing this?
kind regards

Thanks for getting the public discussion about this started.
To give some more background to the mailing list:
* The trac installations at osmocom.org are pretty much
underused/dormant. The only part that's used is the Wiki.
* Osmocom started when a single project (OpenBSC) got a sister project
(OsmocomBB) and has grown into many projects. Running a single trac
instance for each project on a separate dns hostname is overkill.
Also, as code is shifted around between libraries and programs, we'd
appreciate some flexibility.
* at sysmocom internally we have successfully used redmine for dozens of
different projects. The project hierarchy can be changed as needed on
the fly, and issues can relate to issues of other projects, shifted
from project to project, etc.
* Quite a bit of the work we do at sysmocom on the Osmocom software
should have the issue tracker for bugs and features in the public, but
as our internal redmine is so much easier than the public trac setup,
we kept using the internal redmine.
So my plan moving forward is to migrate all Osmocom projects (initially
those related to GSM) to a public redmine, and then keep all issues
updated there. This would give more visibility into the work we're
doing, such as the EDGE PCU, the 3G NITB + SGSN, the HNB-GW, etc.
Redmine has a global linear sequence of ticket
numbers. If we move
from many tracs to a single redmine we can either:
* not import tickets
* only import from one project
* deal with changing ticket numbers
I think not importing tickets or dealing wih changing numbers is the way
to go.
In terms of installations the GMR trac is broken in
regard to tickets,
there are some for SDR that are probably not being fixed anytime soon,
baseband might be relevant and OpenBSC is unlikely to be relevant. I
don't think we have ever used ticket reference in OpenBSC commit
messages so in terms of OpenBSC having changing ticket numbers would
not be a big deal. E.g. we could add a custom field with the old trac
number?
If there is automatic import/conversion available, I'd prefer to import
the OsmocomBB, SIMtrace, (non-spam) Security and OpenBSC tickets, even
though most of them are probably stale and outdated for years. They're
still part of the history. Changing the numbers doesn't matter, as we
don't refer to them.
We have external references that should be redirected
to the new
place. Is there any way besides maintaining a list in the
apache2/nginx configuration and making redirects as we find broken
references? Can we proactively manage this? Is anybody willing to come
up with a script and nginx configuration for doing this?
I'm not aware of any tools that might be able to help here.
Indeed, it would be great if anyone would volunteer to generate a script
to generate the redirects.
I guess the old format is e.g.
http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/nanoBTS/Internals
and the new URL would be something like
http://projects.osmocom.org/redmine/openbsc/wiki/nanoBTS/Internals
Or should we strip even the redmine from the URL?
And should we have a rewrite for http://openbsc.osmocom.org/redmine to
http://projects.osmocom.org/redmine/openbsc ?
Any ideas?

Harald

Hi,
- OsmocomBB never used tickets AFAIK.
- OsmocomGMR definitely never used them
- OsmocomSDR ... don't think it's worth importing.
- Security ... yeah maybe, although not really sure anyone is really using this.
script ?
The page names should be the same, so it should pretty much be just a
few redirects per project with regexp to redirect properly.
Shouldn't be too hard once we settled for a URL scheme.
Any reason not to go for just http://osmocom.org/ as a base ? We have
nothing really in the front page and we could just let redmine handle
it too.
Then just http://osmocom.org/projectname/wiki/page/name looks good to
me if doable.
Cheers,
Sylvain

Hi all!

last weekend I used the "stock" redmine trac->redmine converter and the
result is on projects.osmocom.org. It is not perfect but I think good enough to start
moving. We see that certain formating needs a post-import correction but that should be
doable by all of us quickly.
My plan/timeline (on short notice but I don't expect a major resistence so I hope it
is fine):
* Patch the redmine importer to not import tickets. This hopefully allows me to import
other tracs at the same time (and re-add the security tickets by hand)
* Friday evening set the tracs to read-only (I probably move the account file away)
* Saturday/Sunday do the migration of the trac.
* Make it available on osmocom.org (currently it is projects.osmocom.org)
* Keep the trac as read-only version for now
In the mid-term:
* We need to post-process some pages and move them around to have a better structure
* Add permanent redirects from the trac to osmocom.org for "approved" content.
This way normal traffic will automatically move to the new page and then we can look at
the access.log for which pages still need a re-direct.
any objections?

I swiftly registered a 'neels' account and as soon as it's granted project

the OpenBSC wiki page (unless we can automate those somehow).

no problem, since we're all idling around all the time anyway ;)
More seriously though, the wiki is on my todo list to explain gtphub and
adjust that overview png, also to include Iu. Some day not too far I hope...

The redmine importer insists only works if I enter "openbsc" and then it
apparently does "Openbsc" with it. But we can fix that after the import.

According to Google, this should do the trick
perl -p -i -e 's/\[\[Image\((.+?)\)\]\]/\{\{thumbnail\($1\)\}\}/g'
filename.txt
(note that it replaces [[Image...]] with {{thumbnail...}} in the file
without creating a backup)).

So there will be some fallout but I think it still makes sense to move forward now.
This post is Sponsored by the Ministry of Stuff you Didn't want to know. Trac has a
"flat" wiki model. The hierarchy is added by the notion of adding / into the
path. This means that SoftwareOverview is a top-level page and Software/Overview is a
child of software.
In Redmine there is the concept of "parent" pages but the name is a flat
namespace. So by convention the page would be called "Overview" but be a child
of "Software". Redmine will normalize a pagetitle like Software/Overview to
SoftwareOverview.
To avoid having "SoftwareOverview" and "Software/Overview" clash I am
expanding the later to SoftwareSoftwareOverview and this gives us funny names and broken
links (*sigh*) but with reasonable effort this seems to be as good as I can get it.
This means our manual fix-up step will so far include:
* Fix general format issue (e.g. <pre> but no </pre>)
* Remove custom html I created to have a multi-column view.
* Fix the [[Image unless I get the regexp to work in ruby
* Rename SoftwareSoftwareOverview and other pages (and delete the old one)

Dear all,
It's been more than half a year that we transitioned the Osmocom
projects from the various trac instances to redmine.
Still, a lot of people end up on the old redmine pages. How do I know?
Because of the amount of personal e-mail I receive from people asking
for accounts or for modification of the content there.
[This is of course just the indicator, I don't mind those mails]. But
what worries me is that people are looking at outdated information in
the old trac without even knowing.
How do we proceed about that? I'm not quite clear. The first step
could be to add some kind of banner to the old trac installations,
indicating at the header / footer of every page (or even as a floating
block visible at all times) that this is old, outdated content that is
scheduled to be removed at a certain date, and indicating the top-level
page for the specific project in the osmocom.org redmine as an updated
source. After that grace period has passed, we should probably make all
the old trac pages redirect to the entry-page of the project in redmine.
Trying to link to the respective new page in each individual wiki would
be overly complicated and take a lot of time, unless somebody masocistic
enough would volunteer for creating such a list. It can probably be
auto-generated to some extent, but then each individual item would need
to be manually verified and fixed up, if needed.
Do you have other ideas on how to proceed in a better way?
Do we have any volunters about any of the above? I'm quite sure it
wouldbe easy to provide volunteers witha copy of the existing trac
databases or any other information that might be needed.
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Harald

Hi,
* not modify trac sites but use redirect of nginx
I've just put this in place for 'openbsc.osmocom.org' :
rewrite ^/trac/wiki/(.*)/(.*)$
$scheme://osmocom.org/projects/openbsc/wiki/$1$2 redirect;
rewrite ^/trac/wiki(.*)$ $scheme://osmocom.org/projects/openbsc/wiki$1 redirect;
This seems to work fairly well. I'm sure there are some exceptions to
those regexps, but I couldn't find any immediately. If we uncover them
we can try to tweak them or just handle them manually.
I've set them to temporary (302) redirects for now. Once we're a
little more confident that this works well, this can be changed to
301s and extended to all the other old domains.
If you find any case where those fails, please report.

There is no content that is gone. The trac pages had all been converted
to redmine many months ago. The automatic wiki syntax conversion and
link conversion didn't always work fine, and we asked people to help
with manually going over the new redmine content to fix things up.
If there are broken links in the auto-converted content in redmine,
pleaes help us to fix them up.

or

The above have existed ever since the migration on February 19.
I just added an auto-generated list of Nuttx-bb child pages using the
{{child_pages()}} macro at

Feel free to clean this up further manually. I think the best solution
in the remine wolrd would be to create a Nuttx-BB sub-project underneath
the OsmocomBB project and then move all content there. This way it's
easier for "standard" users to not be confused with the (unfortunately
still) more experimental nuttx based system(s). Let me know if you
would want to help on that migration to a redmine sub-project and I'll
create that project

osmocom-bb is kept by itself). This second layout seems better to me... so that osmocom-bb
is more "preserved" as-is. I know there are differences in the code environments
but it seems those could be handled by making macros in nuttx so that nuttx can compile
osmocom code.
Any suggestions?
My work in progress... on nuttx-bb
https://github.com/craigcomstock/fernvale-nuttx/tree/nuttx-bb
this osmocomBB/osmocomBB seems to want to pull in bits from
osmocom-bb/src/target/firmware
https://github.com/craigcomstock/fernvale-nuttx/tree/nuttx-bb/apps/osmocomB…
here is a more "clean" structure of mediatek code that I put into osmocom-bb
thinking I would migrate to side-by-side
layouthttps://github.com/craigcomstock/osmocom-bb/tree/mt626x
all is very much a WIP,Craig

Subject: Re: Moving from trac to a single redmine
Hi,
* not modify trac sites but use redirect of nginx
I've just put this in place for 'openbsc.osmocom.org' :
rewrite ^/trac/wiki/(.*)/(.*)$
$scheme://osmocom.org/projects/openbsc/wiki/$1$2 redirect;
rewrite ^/trac/wiki(.*)$ $scheme://osmocom.org/projects/openbsc/wiki$1 redirect;
This seems to work fairly well. I'm sure there are some exceptions to
those regexps, but I couldn't find any immediately. If we uncover them
we can try to tweak them or just handle them manually.
I've set them to temporary (302) redirects for now. Once we're a
little more confident that this works well, this can be changed to
301s and extended to all the other old domains.
If you find any case where those fails, please report.
Cheers,
Sylvain

I agree, it would be bets to have it side-by-side

I'm not opposed to introducing macros / function tables / APIs /
whatever else in osmocom-bb to make it more portable. So modifying
osmocom-bb is definitely possible - but it should always continue to
build + work "bare iron" outside the context of nuttx, at the very least
as long as that work regarding Nuttx hasn't completed fully for quite
some time.
Looking forward to your progress.
Regards,
Harald

Thanks Harald,
I'll pursue side-by-side then as that seemed best to me also.
My plan was to start with an rssi app, do layer1 and get that working with mobile on a
laptop, then work on porting mobile to nuttx.
I'll be working on an mt6260-based watch and an mt2502/6261-based rephone module
primarily.

Hi Craig,
this is just a small note that I just met Marcin Mielczarczyk (who did
the existing but still incomplete MTK support work a few years back) at
Embedded Linux Conf Europe, and informed him about your work.
It is really exciting for both of us to see somebody picking this up and
trying to bring things together.
If I'm not mistaken, you basically have the following agenda:
* Structure OsmocomBB in a way that it can be built 'side-by-side into Nuttx
* Build /integrate it from the fernvale nuttx port that is available
* Implement the bulk of the MTK L1 integration, i.e. the interface to
the DSP.
And afterwards hope that you have something that supports either the
Fernvale, SIM800H, Linkit One, or other MTK 2G baseband chips out there.
Please let me know this was an accurate understanding.
Regards,
Harald

It didn't sound like the grace period before switching off trac has already
passed. And I think we already have one complaint of missing content :)

the main problem is that search engines still primarily seem to index +
link to the old trac instances. So we were keeping that alive for some
time. However, as the content is going out of date, and people still
show an interest in editing the old content, I think we need to switch
the trac off soon and replace it with links to the redmine, even if it
just links to the redmine entry page of that project.
