P4DTI issue job000047

TitleHistorical bugs are replicated but uninteresting
Statusclosed
Priorityessential
Assigned userNick Barnes
OrganizationRavenbrook
DescriptionAt startup, the replicator replicates all issues from the DT starting at the beginning of time. This takes a long time, uses up space, clutters up databases, and is usually unnecessary. RB 2000-11-21
This now only affects the Bugzilla integration. RB 2000-12-04
AnalysisWe should also only replicate issues which are created or modified after a configured date, which is the time of first installation by default, and we should document how to set this time earlier. Most people don't need all their historical issues replicated. RB 2000-11-21
bugzilla.py:latest_complete_replication() should return self.now() instead of '0'. NB 2000-11-29
