I agree that by and large it’s no big deal, but a suggestion might be to provide the SLURM as slurm-*-<version> being the set of packages you install, so that updating between major versions wouldn’t happen by surprise, given how careful one needs to be with
SLURM upgrades — ordering, timing, etc. VirtualBox does something like that, and their upgrades aren’t even as disruptive.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>More work still, though, and I install SLURM via OpenHPC so I’m not a constituent necessarily. Just an idea. </div>

<div>Thanks for your effort!<br>
