 Hello Tobias,

 shouldn't the changes be reflected in iso_3166_2.tab, too?
 They seem to be in the XML file only.

Hello,

actually, the file iso_3166_2.tab is outdated and should no longer be used. 
I've therefore removed the file from the repository. Thanks for pointing 
this out.

Regards,
Tobias

 thanks for the patch and the additional hints about the ISO 3166-2 XML file. 
 I've verified that the most part of the patch is indeed correct, except the 
 code DE-BR for Brandenburg. All other corrections have been applied to 
 the SVN repository and will appear in the next release.

Hello,

I came across bug #375688 because I had discovered the wrong entry
DE-BR for Berlin in iso-codes.

While I agree that DE-BR should be changed to DE-BE, I believe
that the following hunk from the proposed patch is not correct:

1748c1748
   code=DE-BBname=Brandenburg /
---
   code=DE-BRname=Brandenburg /

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the standard ISO 3166-2.
However, the following reference claims that the code for Brandenburg
is DE-BB:

Hello Andreas,

I'm sorry for the late reply. We don't use the bug tracking system on Alioth 
for the iso-codes package, that's why your bug report got lost. I've filed 
it now on the Debian BTS, see http://bugs.debian.org/375688.

 i'm looking for a xml-file that contains iso3166-2 entries and found your
 project through google. it looked like a good starting-point for me. but
 on the other hand, i could easily find various invalid entries in your
 file, that make me unsure, whether the iso3166-2-part of your project is
 under active maintenance.
 
 can someone please give me some information about the status of 3166-2
 part of your project?

Well, we try to reflect the ISO 3166-2 standard as closely as possible, but 
naturally bugs remain. So if you have more information about bugs in our 
XML file, we would be glad to accept your changes.

Regards,
Tobias
