Description Robin Sheat 2012-06-10 14:54:53 UTC
The 'zipcode' field is mandatory by default when creating a patron. This is quite annoying in places where the zipcode isn't all that important.

[SIGNED-OFF] Bug 8222 - make the zipcode no longer mandatory

Having the zipcode field mandatory by default is a bit annoying for
places where no one cares about it. This patch stops it being the case
on new installs.

Thank you, this has been an annoyance on my test machines many a time.

Simple patch, changes default entry for syspref value only.  Upgraded installs unaffected.  Passed QA.

(changed the component, it's related to installer module, not patron)

No string changes, pushed to 3.8.x will be in 3.8.2
