Mantis to Trac conversion script

Description

This script allows you to import a ticket repository from Mantis to Trac.

Currently, the following data is imported from Mantis:

  • bugs
  • bug comments
  • bug activity (field changes)
  • attachments (as long as they're stored in the database)

Attachments are imported only if they are stored in the database. There is no provision for migrating filesystem-based attachments. If you use the script, please read the NOTES section at the top of the file and make sure you adjust the configuration parameters for your environment.

Example use:

$ python mantis2trac.py --db mantis --tracenv /usr/local/trac-projects/myproj/ \
    --host localhost --user root --clean --products foo,bar

See below for more usage options.
