NAME
       freeciv-ruleup - Update Freeciv rulesets

SYNOPSIS
       freeciv-ruleup [option ...]

              Print a summary of the options

       -F, --Fatal SIGNAL
              Raise a signal SIGNAL on failed assertion

       -r, --ruleset RULESET Update RULESET

       -o, --output DIRECTORY

       -c, --clean

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.
