slim_hello all, i installed mantis 1.2.1, and i have a database from older mantis, how can i install old database ?09:00
slim_hi09:22
slim_is it possible to upgrade from version 0.17.5 to 1.2.1 ?09:30
slim_as i read that to upgrade to version 1.0.0  first, but i got error also when upgrade to version 1.0.0 anyone can help me in this ?09:58
dhx_mslim_: you're on your own with this one... 0.17.5 is older than the internet and it is unlikely anyone here (or on the mailing list) was around that long ago (and/or remembers how such an early version worked)10:23
slim_dhx_m:   we use old version long time ago, yesteday only my manager asked me to upgrate to current version10:24
slim_after i read i find that i have to upgrade to version 1.0.0 first10:24
dhx_myou should really be updating more frequently or else you run into these situations10:35
dhx_munless you have the inhouse skills to write your own conversion scripts10:35
slim_of course , you are right .10:36
dhx_motherwise you can try crawling the bug tracker and mailing list for historical information about upgrading earlier versions10:36
slim_this i do now ,10:36
dhx_mit's a bit like someone asking how to upgrade from Windows 3.1 to Windows 7... it's easier to just start again and move data across yourself than to upgrade (if it's even possible)10:37
dhx_mexcept with Windows you are better to start afresh every time you upgrade/reinstall :p10:38
slim_yes to avoid this i'm working with  linux :)10:38
slim_dhx_m:   now the current version working well :)11:14
dhx_m:)11:14
dhx_mthat was quicker than I was expecting :D11:14
slim_yes, there was something near in forum11:14
nuclear_eclipsewow11:28
nuclear_eclipse0.17.511:28
nuclear_eclipseand I thought all those 1.0.x users were really bad at staying up to date...11:29
nuclear_eclipse:P11:29
dhx_mlol11:46
dhx_mmaybe we should have asked slim_ for a testimonial for the website... "I upgraded a 5 year old MantisBT installation to the latest version in minutes!"11:47
dhx_mlol at this patent I came across relating to login security (user/pass)12:17
dhx_mthey've reinvented challenge/response using something that resembles caeser shift12:17
dhx_mI think there needs to be a law created to ban people from creating their own crap crypto systems :p12:19
DraggorSo just to check, dokuwiki and mantisbt integration is currently borked?13:34
nuclear_eclipseDraggor: it just takes a bit of manual work to get them to work with each other... =/13:39
Draggornuclear_eclipse: Right now I'm having this "sg function not defined" in the mantis.class.php I added in dok13:48
nuclear_eclipse"sg"?13:52
Draggorhttp://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:issue:7075:integration_with_dokuwiki I'm following this13:53
nuclear_eclipseI have no clue13:55
nuclear_eclipsethose instructions are really out of date13:55
DraggorAhh, heh.  Is there a better way I should go about it?13:55
nuclear_eclipseI know that quite a bit of mantis has changed since then13:55
nuclear_eclipseDraggor: pick something other than Dokuwiki ;)13:55
DraggorAww, but I like dokuwiki :(  <3 flat file storage for small stuff13:56
nuclear_eclipsewell, then I can't really help =\13:56
Draggorwell, mainly, I greatly enjoy dokwiki's syntax and block editing13:56
nuclear_eclipseI stopped using Dokuwiki years ago because file-based storage is really annoying13:57
nuclear_eclipsemakes upgrading and backups a pain13:57
DraggorSo far upgrading has been simple and backups divine13:57
nuclear_eclipsepermissions also constantly kept creeping up to bite me13:57
DraggorOkay so my conf and data dirs might be a bit.. loose, heh13:58
nuclear_eclipseit's far easier to just dump all your databases at night than to have your data spread out in multiple locations13:58
DraggorI mean, someone asks me for a wiki, so I just unzip the thing and pint the install page to them13:58
Draggorpoint*13:59
DraggorIt's a two minute affair13:59
DraggorPart of it is my own fault for locking down my DB so heavily13:59
DraggorI'd be willing to rediscover how to merge dokiwiki with mantis could be a fun mini project14:01
nuclear_eclipseDraggor: if you do so, it would be nice to have an updated wiki article :P14:02
DraggorI would do that too :314:03

slestakhi guys.  I got a curl line workign that runs a repo_import_last for my sourceintegration use.  The one question I have is it requires the id arg for the repo.  Is there a general call I can use to run it on all the repos?18:18
nuclear_eclipseslestak: id=all18:21
slestakahh, tyvm18:24
slestaki was just writing a python script to iterate over the rows in mantis_plugin_Source_repository_table18:24
slestakty for saving me from myself18:25
nuclear_eclipseyoure welcome18:25
nuclear_eclipseif at all possible, you should try to use post-commit hooks rather than a cronjob, but I implemented both methods because I know that's not always possible, eg, SourceForge repos18:26
slestaki liek the idea of the cron, because I can have one spot to get tehm all, otherwise I am making X post-commit hooks for X repos19:05
slestakif i used a post commit hook, each repo needs to know its mysql id number, unless I am going to say update all when any have a commit, that would be wasteful19:06
slestakis id 'all' new since sourceintegration 0.14?  when I use it I get "Invalid remote import address" returned19:07
slestakwould be cool if the repo displayed its last import datetime19:08
slestaki see that in strings.  plugins/Source/lang/strings_english.txt:$s_plugin_Source_invalid_import_url = 'Invalid remote import address';19:10
slestakok, the error message from above only occurs when i try to go to that url in firefox for testing19:14
slestakwhen I use curl on the mantis vm, it works for integer id keys, however, id=all does not work with curl19:14
nuclear_eclipseslestak: yes, that's new since 0.1419:32
slestaki am using dhx_m's hgweb version so I will upfate them indiviually until that reaches 0.1619:33
slestakis the best method of installing (and tracking) plugins to use git to clone them to mantis/plugins/  ?19:34
nuclear_eclipsemy preferred method is cloning plugins to a separate directory and then symlinking from the other location into the mantis/plugins directory19:35
slestakthink i will do that.  that is how I keep mantis, symlinked to /usr/local/src19:37
nuclear_eclipseslestak: you might also want to considering attempting to run dhx's hgweb plugin with the up-to-date framework at 0.16.119:37
nuclear_eclipseand if it doesn't work, I imagine it shouldn't take much to fix it19:38
slestaki think i tried that and had issues.  sry, cannot remember19:38
nuclear_eclipsemost of the changes since 0.14 took place in the framework features themselves19:38
slestaki'd liek to, but with my workload right now I need to be a user more than dev,19:38
nuclear_eclipsenp19:38
nuclear_eclipsejust thought I'd sugest it19:39
slestaki'd liek to.  I think step one may be to reinstall my existing plugins using the methd you describe so I can maybe keep multiple version19:39
nuclear_eclipseother suggestion is to just bug dhx about getting his hgweb plugin up to date :P19:40
slestaknah, im very pleased and thankful to have what i got19:41
nuclear_eclipsedhx_m:23:39
nuclear_eclipsedhx_m: you broke things23:39
nuclear_eclipsedhx_m: http://git.mantisbt.org/?p=mantisbt.git;a=commit;h=7062c67759c8dd002a187ed24a8a4a710f2e6eb523:42
nuclear_eclipsethat commit breaks the ability to configure the default next status in the workflow23:42
nuclear_eclipsejust because the default configuration  settings sucked, doesn't mean you get to ignore them :P23:42
