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.
