[Open-bio-l] Moving from Bugzilla to Redmine on a cloud server

[Peter]

Hi all,

This is a continuation of discussions on root-l and also on biojava-dev about
the Bio* project's bug tracker, which currently uses Bugzilla running on an
OBF hosted machine - http://bugzilla.open-bio.org/

http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biojava-dev/2011-March/004582.html

Chris and Jason have been looking at using Redmine running on the Amazon
cloud, in part to simplify OBF server maintainance, and how to migrate the
Bugzilla data over to this.

Note that the open-bio-l mailing list archive is public, so keep that in mind
regarding passwords etc. See:

There was some discussion on root-l (usually used for sys-admin stuff) with
Andreas etc CC'd. The root-l list is private (with no public archive) as often
general sensitive server details (e.g. host names, port numbers, and access
credentials) are discussed. However, I think there was broad agreement
that most of the RedMine discussion could happen in the open, probably
on the Open-Bio-l list. Anyone interested sign up here:

Meanwhile, Chris has been blogging about some of his experiences:
