thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version and tweaked the
catalogue repository.
Users may view the package's catalogue entry at
http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/pst-barcode.html
or browse the package's directory at
http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-barcode/
The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight (subject to
mirroring delays).

pst-barcode – Print barcodes using PostScript
The pst-barcode package allows printing of barcodes, in a huge variety of formats, including quick-response (qr) codes (see documentation for details).
As a PSTricks package, the package requires pstricks. The package uses PostScript for calculating the bars. For PDF output use a multi-pass mechansism such as pst-pdf.
