Well, on that point, at least you are right. This is precisely what I will do. However, I take this occasion to highlight something which seems misunderstood here : I, myself, Christian Perrier, am absolutely NOT in position of changing anything on my own decision. I have already explained my own personal opinion about this topic and I still not convinced that breaking standards is the way to go. But again, this is only my opinion. I would rather prefer to see our taiwanese friends spend part of their energy dealing with this issue with ISO-3166 maintenance agency, but it looks like refusing all proposed compromises is easier. Fine. About who can change what: Countrychooser currently uses iso-codes as a reference. This package is a Debian Installer Team work, even though I have been the first uploader and the first who (badly) wrote it. Changing the way it uses iso-3166 and having it use something else is to be a collegial decision by all d-i contributors. Iso-codes is maintained by Alastair McKinstry and though I have commit access to its repository, I have never used it for changing the package content except for translations commits. Chaging the package content should first start by raising a bug against it....:-). It hasn't even been done (but I bet it will be as soon as this mail is out). > There is another problem about iso-codes, POT files have been submitted > to the Free Translation Project: > http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=iso_639 > http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=iso_4217 > http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=iso_3166 > http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=iso_3166_1 > http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=iso_3166_2 > http://www2.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?domain=iso_3166_3 > but AFAICT they are now out-of-date, which means that Debian translators > hijack these translations. We should rather say that this record in FTP is outdated as it points to an old (very old) version of the package. Pointing to the current CVS repository of iso-codes is probably better. Updating the translation status to what's already in the repository is also probably better. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
