to Parity one, which should enable the two to connect to each other.

Usage

Rust nightly compiler is needed, you can get one via rustup.

git clone https://github.com/keorn/parity-spec.git
cd parity-spec
rustup default nightly
cargo run -- geth-spec.json

The resulting spec can be then used in Parity with parity --chain parity-spec.json.
