Hi slurm team,
I would ask some clarifications with slurm releases. Why two versions of
slurm are available ?
I speak of 24.05.7 versus 24.11.3 on
https://www.schedmd.com/slurm-support/release-announcements and
announces made on this list ?
I'm managing small clusters in a french public research lab and I've
successfully updated (lets says re-installed as it was very old) an old
one with slurm-24.05.3 some month ago.
Now I'm trying to deploy a second cluster with the same approach and
I've selected 24.11.3-1 (but why not using 24.05.7 ?).
Moreover I have some difficulties for deploying 24.11.3 : I've built the
rpm with:
rpmbuild \
--define '_prefix /usr' \
--with pmix --with ucx --with mysql --with hwloc \
-ta slurm-24.11.3.tar.bz2
but some packages wont install:
$ dnf list --showduplicates slurm-slurmd

Available Packages
slurm-slurmd.x86_64
24.11.3-1.el9 bb-local
$ sudo dnf install slurm-slurmd

Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides is needed by slurm-slurmd-24.11.3-1.el9.x86_64
from bb-local
- nothing provides installed needed by
slurm-slurmd-24.11.3-1.el9.x86_64 from bb-local
- nothing provides not needed by
slurm-slurmd-24.11.3-1.el9.x86_64 from bb-local
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or
'--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
I think I will try to build 24.05.7 or 24.05.3 as a next try but I'm
interested in any advices.
Thank you
Patrick
