Hi Mark, will you please confirm that you are okay with us archiving the older release notes to the bedrock archive? And only moving the last 2-3 releases to RNA?

Thanks

Assuming they are still available at the same urls (or get redirected), that is fine.

> And only moving the last 2-3 releases to RNA?

It would be useful to get a minimum of:

31.0
31.1.0
31.1.1
31.1.2
33.0beta

I'm working on a small script to automate the migration of release notes to rna. From the wiki I can find from the latest thunderbird, up until and version 14.0. Earlier versions either don't link anywhere or are not in a format that can be parsed.

:standard8 is https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases the canonical source for thunderbird releases? Do we have release notes prior version 14.0?

This gist creates Release and Note objects in RNA for the versions of comment #6.

:jgmize is it possible to run this on nucleus stage, verify and then run on prod?

:giorgos I tested the gist locally and got an IndentationError on line 19, and it looks like there are several more errors like this. Would you mind fixing your gist and I'll try again?

Comment 9

[Giorgos Logiotatidis [:giorgos]]

Apologies :jgmize, that's a copy/paste error. Can you please try again?

Before running it again you'll have to delete releases and notes created:

Note.objects.filter(releases__in=Release.objects.filter(product='Thunderbird')).delete()
Release.objects.filter(product='Thunderbird').delete()

:giorgos I took your gist as a base, and then created https://gist.github.com/jgmize/939f3f78d1f42691a7f7 which posts the data via the API and includes the latest release, 31.2.0. Tested and debugged locally, ran on stage and prod with no issues.

Comment 11

[Giorgos Logiotatidis [:giorgos]]

Posting the data over RNA API unfortunately escaped the HTML parts of the release notes, resulting into this https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/31.0/system-requirements/

I tried locally without the leading spaces in the html lines and that seems to fix the issue. Updated gist here:

:jgmize can you please update the notes?

Thanks!

Good catch, Giorgos, I missed the extra indentation level and it's associated effect on the markdown processing. While your script wouldn't work as-is, I just fixed the indentation levels in emacs and did some quick copy pasta work into the admin for each release. This can now be seen on each release in production.
