bz2redmine.py
===============

bz2redmine.py is a Python script to convert your existing Bugzilla database to 
a redmine database. Bugzilla is a popular Bugtracking-System. Redmine is an
increasingly popular bugtracking system as well. Compared with Bugzilla,
Redmine has a couple of unique features.

My bz2redmine Python script is heavily based on the Ruby implementation written
by Ralph Juhnke. His code itself bases on a PHP implementation by Robert Heath.
See CREDITS file for details.

You can find Bugzilla here: http://www.bugzilla.org

You can find Redmine here: http://www.redmine.org


Features
----------

 * Preserves the Bugzilla Bug Numbers
 * Converts most of the existing Bugzilla-Data including attachments
 * Has been successfully used to convert a Bugzilla 2.20 and Bugzilla 2.22
   installation to Redmine 0.8.4 and Redmine trunk.


Usage
-------

1) Backup your Databases and your existing redmine installation. 
   The script will delete all of the data of your existing redmine installation.
2) If you are working on a new installation of redmine make shure you ran
   "rake redmine:load_default_data".
3) Open the Python script with your default text editor and modify the CONFIGURATION
   section according to your needs.
4) You're there - start the script and cross your fingers ;)


Enjoy!
