Send me your Bugzilla export script; I'll test it out this week on a blank repo, with the goal of mirroring a 100-bug subset of the LLVM Bugzilla publicly visible in <a href="https://github.com/Quuxplusone/LLVMBugzillaTest/">https://github.com/Quuxplusone/LLVMBugzillaTest/</a> by EOW.</div><div><br></div><div>(Credentials: I was SRE at Mixpanel for ~3 years and performed several 100GB cluster migrations with zero downtime. I <i>have</i> seen the "We'll do it live!" attitude be successful, but I have also seen it fail spectacularly. The alternative "plan it carefully, write down your deploy plan, test what can be tested ahead of time, do a practice run, <i>then</i> do it live" approach usually works better. At this point it looks like Anton's initial pass at "We'll do it live!" clearly was <i>not</i> successful, in the sense that if it <i>were</i> successful the repo would have been migrated circa Thanksgiving weekend. So this is the giant-honking-red-flashing-light alert that it's time to shift from "We'll do it live!" to "Let's make a deploy plan.")</div><div><br></div><div>Respectfully, yet frustrated with the never-ending email thread,</div><div>–Arthur</div></div></div>
