There are two ways we can do this: <ol><li>Ask for a list of the new bug numbers, and do some apache mod_redirect magic to convert them to the new method.</li> <li>During the import, give each imported bug an alias, like 'sl1234' which identify their numbers on the old bug tracker. Then we just have to redirect from <a href="http://dev.sugarlabs.org/bugs/1234">http://dev.sugarlabs.org/bugs/1234</a> to <a href="https://launchpad.net/bugs/sl1234">https://launchpad.net/bugs/sl1234</a>, and LP will handle the rest. </li></ol>I'll have to ask for confirmation on whether option 2 can be automagically done during the import We'd have to implement the redirect to ("<a href="http://launchpad.net/bugs/sl">launchpad.net/bugs/sl</a>" + BUG_NUMBER) ourselves, but that's trivial. Worst case, we can do 1. I'll follow up and see what's doable and report back to the list. -- Luke Faraone <a href="http://luke.faraone.cc">http://luke.faraone.cc</a>
