One exists for +`Gnats <https://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/>`_. If you write one for a +popular system, please share your code with us. + +Alternatively, Bugzilla comes with a script, :file:`importxml.pl`, which +imports bugs in Bugzilla's XML format. You can see examples of this format +by clicking the :guilabel:`XML` link at the bottom of a bug in a running +Bugzilla. You would need to read the script to see how it handles errors, +default values, creating non-existing values and so on. + +Bugzilla::Migrate is preferred if possible. + + |
