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.
