Topics

1. News
   
   • New release of d0repro available since today. Suppresses datasets with status NEW in check_all.py unless option "--all" is used. auto_pilot.py understands --production-only and --merge-only to create partial submission scripts. Bug fixes.
   • Special priority to run JES data. Manchester subset reassigned to FNAL farm. Other reassignments require special coordination to avoid double submission.
   • Can we give the new data higher priority. Mike will collect the status of all assigned datasets to get a full picture of what can still be reassigned. Gavin asked the physics conveenors to communicate requested the priorities.
