Status of DØ Production Releases

Status of DØ Production Releases

Page updated November 2, 2005

This page summarizes the status of the DØ production releases. It is organized around the major DØ executables. More detalied information can be found on the status pages of the individual executables.

There is similar information (and possibly more up-to-date) on the DØ Wiki pages, at https://plone4.fnal.gov/P1/D0Wiki/releases/

Please note that it can be very complicated to describe all aspects of all releases and all executables. This page attempts to condense all of this information into small snippets, and thus only gives an overview. However, it will hopefully be of general use. Please send any corrections / comments to Mike Hildreth.
