iceprod 2.6.2

IceCube dataset management system

IceProd is a Python framework for distributed management of batch jobs. It runs as a layer on top of other batch middleware, such as HTCondor, and can pool together resources from different batch systems. The primary purpose is to coordinate and administer many large sets of jobs at once, keeping a history of the entire job lifecycle.
