[Koha-patches] [PATCH] DB REVISION: use items.itemtype for circulation rules. [WARNING: Manual intervention needed]

[Ryan Higgins]

This and the following patch implement the removal of the
'item-level_itypes' system preference.

Anyone who currently does not have this system preference or has it set to
OFF,
PLEASE  take care to follow the instructions in the commit message.

Please also be sure to back up your development database prior to applying
this patch !!!

If you currently use item-level itemtypes, nothing should be required.
updatedatabase should make the necessary changes for you in your
frameworks.

If you currently use bib-level itemtypes ( biblioitems.itemtype ), then you
MUST
check your frameworks and be sure to map items.itemtype to an item subfield
after running updatedatabase.
After verifying this mapping, run the script:
 misc/maintenance/sync_items_in_marc_bib.pl
to copy the data into your embedded holdings.

Regards,

Ryan
