Merge lp:~openerp-dev/openobject-server/6.0-opw-18173-vro into lp:openobject-server/6.0

Hello,

The 'selection' field of ir.model.fields is a char type field, which places a limit on the number of characters acceptable. Hence a fix is proposed to change the type of this field to text, to remove size restriction.

This will allow the user to specify any number of characters (and selection options) in this field.

Thanks

This seems a small change but we don't allow database schema change in the stable branch. If necessary, you can answer with a workaround: use a many2one field instead of a selection field, and make it point to a new custom model with the necessary values. Additionally a widget='selection' can be use on the view for the many2one.
