DESCRIPTION

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

BUGS

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