[Koha-patches] [PATCH] [REVISED_AGAIN] 6094 Fixing ModAuthority problems -- functionality

[Marcel de Rooy]

Pref MergeAuthoritiesOnUpdate does not exist; should be dontmerge.
In: C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm

Instead of folder modified_authorities, now introducing a table for this purpose: need_merge_authorities. This eliminates several permissions and security issues. This change applies to AuthoritiesMarc.pm and merge_authority.pl.

POD lines added for ModAuthority. Deprecated parameter $merge removed.

Commented the line destroying the Zconn object in merge(). This made the second call to merge crash.

July 25, 2011: Adjusted. Test this patch by applying the db revision first from the corresponding dbrev patch.
