Comment:
I have uploaded to my civ2civ3_earth repository the fix to unlock the topology (new commit to the branch 'release').
Now that the modpack installer tool includes a link to this 'release' branch, my updated version (that I named 2023_06b) is automatically available there. I have verified that I can install it correctly.
However, the version name (as shown in the modpack installer) is not updated automatically. Once installed, the modpack installer reports that my installed version is 2023_06b (ok), but it still appears that the available version is 2023_06 (no b).
My question is, do I need to ask for the change of the version name when I upload a new version, or the modpack installer will at some point retrieve automatically the actual version name from the file civ2civ3_earth-3.0.mpdl?
I do not see it important to change it now from 2023_06 to 2023_06b (or "c" due to minor fixes), I'm asking in case I upload in the future a new version 2024_01 or similar.
Thank you anyway. It seems to be working right now.

Once you have a stable version, I'd like to have it also in installer's list of modpacks to suggest.
I have finished a stable version of my ruleset civ2civ3_earth, released as v2023_06. I created a new branch named "release" for such stable releases that I consider ready to be shared in installer's list of modpacks. The links to the modpack files would be:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dftec-es/civ2civ3_earth/release/2.6/civ2civ3_earth-2.6.modpack
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dftec-es/civ2civ3_earth/release/3.0/civ2civ3_earth-3.0.mpdl

For freeciv-3.0 you have to choose:
- Leave out all the players with older freeciv-3.0 versions than 3.0.8. That includes anybody using freeciv provided by their linux distribution, with any distribution release made so far (and includes, e.g., Debian Bookwork that's currently in freeze, and won't take new freeciv version)
- Adjust the ruleset to avoid the case where there's a "Traderoute" range requirement evaluated by the client. (I can help you identify what was that, at least in this particular crash)
At the end I have not addressed this problem for v3.0, I just added a note in the NEWS file: Known bugs:
* When the ruleset is played with a version of Freeciv prior to 3.0.8, the "Investigate city" action may cause a crash to desktop (related to the presence of traded resources in the target city). As an alternative, military units can use the "Bombard" action to see all defending units.
Since the crash can be avoided by simply not using the Investigate city action, I didn't find necessary to disable this action for everybody, included those who uses a version with no crash. If you disagree (you do not like in the installer's list a mod that might cause a known crash), please let me know how to implement this option:
Leave out all the players with older freeciv-3.0 versions than 3.0.8
