This document describes the software, published on Gna!, that was used to drive pubserver, the public set of Freeciv servers that used to run pubserver.freeciv.org, which went down permanently in 2007. This document has not kept track of any developments since then - it does not aim to describe any other software or efforts to run public Freeciv servers. Specifically, it does not describe publite and other initiatives to replace parts of this system with something else, since they are not ready to take over production just yet. See also pubserver system administration.
