To add. Using https with either openssl or mbedtls requires obtaining an https certificate. This can be self-
signed, or signed by a higher authority, or issued by the "let's encrypt" project.

I reworked the MIDAS Makefile to simplify things and to remove redundancy with functions
provided by cmake.

As the Midas software is installed using CMake, it can be easily integrated into
other CMake projects using the MidasConfig.cmake file produced during the Midas
installation.

17 Nov 2020, Stefan Ritt, Info, Equipment "common" settings in ODB

Today I addressed a topic which bugged me since long time. The ODB contains
settings under /Equipment/<name>/Common which are a "mirror" of the equipment[]
setting in a frontend (using the mfe.cxx framework). If the "Common" entry in

Indeed this "mirror" of the ODB in settings option can cause frustration in
particular when we think the ODB is empty but is not.
In the other hand, over time the settings are adjusted to a particular

Right. No easy subject. For me, too, this has been a problem in MIDAS for a long time.

Ok, so what about the following proposal:

Yes, I think this will work.
For old mfe.c frontends, global variable set to "do it the new way" should be okey,

One more change:

30 Nov 2020, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, more wisdom from linux kernel people
|
As you may know, I am a big fan of two software projects - the linux kernel and ROOT. The linux kernel is one of
the few software projects "done right". ROOT is where normal people try to "get it right" with real-world level
of success. I use both softwares daily and I try to apply their ways and methods to MIDAS as much as I can.
