DESCRIPTION

23       freeciv-ruleup  updates  rulesets  compatible  with  previous  freeciv-
24       server(6) version to ones compatible with current version. It does that
25       simply  by  loading  and saving the ruleset. It can load ruleset in the
26       format of previous freeciv version, and it saves in the format of  cur‐
27       rent  freeciv version. Because it's meant to load rulesets that are not
28       meant to be used with current version of freeciv, one usually wants  to
29       set  FREECIV_DATA_PATH  environment variable to point to datadir of the
30       old freeciv version before using it. By default it saves updated  rule‐
31       set to directory named after ruleset name with prefix ".ruleup" added.

BUGS

35       Need to setup FREECIV_DATA_PATH to point to old freeciv version datadir
36       makes using the tool somewhat cumbersome.
