bztotj

Export Bugzilla bugs to a TaskJuggler project.

Usage

Export bugs to a TaskJuggler include file:

bztotj.py MILESTONE [MILESTONE...]

This creates the files "bugzilla_flags.tji", "bugzilla_project.tji", "MILESTONE_resolved_tasks.tji", and "MILESTONE_open_tasks.tji". Import them as shown in the example project "bzexample.tjp":

project bzexample "Example" "1.0" 2012-05-01 2012-06-01 {
  include "bugzilla_project.tji"
}

# Flag declarations.
include "bugzilla_flags.tji"

# Resource definitions.
# Define Bugzilla users here.
resource tjefferson "Thomas Jefferson" { }

# Include the tasks exported from Bugzilla
task resolved_tasks "Resolved Tasks" { }
include "bzexample_resolved_tasks.tji" { taskprefix resolved_tasks }
task open_tasks "Open Tasks" {
  start 2012-05-01
}
include "bzexample_open_tasks.tji" { taskprefix open_tasks }

Bugzilla Assumptions

This script makes some assumptions regarding your Bugzilla installation.

1. The database is MySQL.
2. Grouping bugs all have a common description prefix. The default prefix is "META: ". Bugs that are part of a group are made into subtasks of that group.
3. Not all bugs will have an time estimate. Those bugs are flagged and assigned a default effort.
4. The set of priority values is ["P1", "P2", "P3", "P4", "P5"].
5. The lowest bug priority of "P5" means that the bug is not prioritized. Those bugs are flagged.
