Hi
How can I upload to the repertoire a new rule for an existing contest (UBA ON)?
Can the cty.dat be updated according to the most recent file?
Thanks.

Hi How can I upload to the repertoire a new rule for an existing contest (UBA ON)?

You could
a) make a clone of the repo, add the file and make a pull request
b) send the file via the mailing list or
c) paste it somewhere and tell us the link.

Can the cty.dat be updated according to the most recent file?

Yes, but as cty.dat changes very often, it is mostly updated on a new release. See the FAQ how to download an actual version.

@ON2PSA It would be great if you could make a pull request. (option a)
Just checked the rules (https://www.uba.be/en/hf/contest-rules/uba-dx-contest-rules) and they are quite involved. Probably we will have to solve some issues to fully support them.

Dear Zoltan I have figure out most of commands to configure rules according to contest instructions. I think important to highlight that rules needs to be place either in /usr/share/tlf/rules or inside a folder called rules in a folder where the contest data will be created. The multipliers also need to be present in the rules folder. Here attached I share with you my rules for Portugal Day Contest and European HF Championship. Please review the content and post in github for release and access to other users. Thanks for developping TLF. Great software. Happy to help on the development (I'm not a programmer however).

Hi Zoltan Thanks for your reply. Here are the rules for ptday and ptday_dx (Portugal day contest) and European HF contest The multi and prefixes for ptday and ptday_dx are also included. Please check for incoerences in the instructions. I would like to create rules for other contest I have intention to participate and thus share with TLF users. Thus understanding rules and how apply then according to the instructions is important to debug the errors. Thanks.
