Done.  Just before doing that I did another snapshot and put it into the 
source repo under Documentation/kicad_export.xml

No, I think the tracker tab is gone entirely now, and with it the webpage.

Thanks for that.

These are good questions, and they need to be answered almost within the 
hour.  The launchpad guy is standing by ready to import a file named 
output.xml, which is extracted from kicad_export.xml, but the darn files 
are so big that I cannot tell if the converting tool (kicad_export.xml 
to output.xml) is including the feature requests or only the bugs.  If 
we don't get a handle on this soon, the issue will be answered for us.  
I also have some reluctance to even keep old *closed* bug reports.  What 
do you think?


Here is the conversion program I used:

   
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad/sfbugs2launchpad/trunk/annotate/head%3A/convert_sf_bugs.py

Does this program keep "Feature Requests" in the output or not?

Do we want them there, in the bug database?
