[Koha] [Koha-devel] Barcode Don't Found

[Michael Hafen]

I'll attach a modified patch to do it.  You'll still have to update the
sys. pref. options to enable this feature.  Look at the changes to
installer/data/mysql/en/mandatory/sysprefs.sql for an idea of what to
set the sys. pref. to.

Good luck.
