[mb-style] RFC: Indicata that a release has no barcode

2011-06-14 Thread Nicolás Tamargo de Eguren
The idea would be differentiating releases with no barcode from
releases where the existence of a barcode is just not known. For that
we would store the barcode as a string of zeros (as webservice users
probably expect only numbers there and we don't want to break their
stuff), although we would display it in MB itself as Barcode: none.

To make it easier, if this passes I'll add a ticket asking for a
checkbox in the release editor that we can just mark (and that will
add the zeros to the barcode field and disable it until unchecked).
Kuno / warp already said he could implement it.
