Description

When I upgrade the app with cml brew upgrade blockblock, it will uninstall and reinstall blockblock.

After this upgrade, all rules are lost.

I haven't got time to figure out where rules are stored. I think it's better storing it at a place which will not get deleted upon upgrade.

Thanks a lot.
