I figured out the breakage, added a git tag to identify where the cmake incompatible change was made (roughly) 
and posted a note on how to fix it. Please reimburse me for the 2 hours I had to spend on this instead of doing 
useful work. K.O.

I would like to request the following sequencer features if you find the ideas as sensible as I do:

While trying to simplify the existing spaghetti code, I encountered problems with type safety. Compare the following:
[CODE]SET v, "54"
SET file, "MPPCHV_$v.odb"

A new sequencer which understands Python is in the works. There you can use all features from that language.

The extended ODBSET[x,y1-y2,z] could make sense to be implemented, since it then will match the alarm system which uses the same syntax.

The $GOODCHANNELS/$BADCHANNELS is however a very strange syntax which I haven't seen in any other computer language. It would take me probably several

And there is one more argument: 

We have a Python expert in our development team who wrote already the Python-to-C bindings. That means when running a Python

I also encountered a small annoyance in the current workflow of editing sequencer files in the browser:

If people are simultaneously editing scripts this is indeed an issue, which probably never can be resolved by technical means. It need communication between
the users.

Hi all,

Would it be possible to extend manalyzer to support custom .root file names that include the run number?

Hi,
Lots of users like the midas::odb interface for reading from the ODB in manalyzers. It currently doesn't 
work offline however without a few manual lines to tell midas::odb to read from the ODB copy in the run
