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.
