[Koha-devel] Removing sysprefs from language related installer ?

[Paul Poulain]

Hello koha-devel,

Since Koha 3.4, the text displayed for the sysprefs is stored in .pref
file. It means the sysprefs are no more "language dependant".
One of the pain one face when a syspref must be added into Koha is that
each language file must be updated, and there are now many (welcome to
the new ES one !)
It also means that is someone forget to add a syspref into a language,
then this language will have incomplete syspref in the DB when installed.

Here is what I propose:
* remove all syspref SQL files from language
(installer/data/mysql/LANGUAGE/mandatory/syspref.sql -or similar name-)
* insert them in the kohastructure.sql

The syspref is an absolute "must have" to have Koha working, so I think
it's correct to have them in the kohastructure.sql

If no-one object, i'm willing to write the patch for that. ( Please
confirm i'm not forgetting something ! )
