Package: iso-codes Version: 3.7-1 Severity: normal This is a reminder bug. The ISO-3166 MA published a new newsletter with a few changes:
http://www.iso.org/iso/newsletter_vi-5.pdf Venezuela changed its *short* name to "Venezuela, Bolivarian republic of". The "long name" remains "the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela". Other changes (administrative languages for Kiribati and Tuvalu, typo correction in Annex descibing all islands that are part of GG) do not affect our lists. For Venezuela, I propose we add a "common_name" as "Venezuela", just as we already do for a few countries (Taiwan, Macedonia...). Otherwise, I'm afraid that country lists (for instance in Debian Installer) will show this insanely (and very obviously politically-biased) long name. A short name should remain a short name, dammit....and the said country being FLOSS-friendly doesn't change much to the problem..:-) CC'ing José Parella, our only DD in VE, for advice. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash iso-codes depends on no packages. iso-codes recommends no packages.
