I have put off applying updates as our Slurm install was built from RPMs we built, selecting the options that we need - as I understand it features are included if the corresponding 'dev' libraries are found on the build system.

I'm glad my Slurm Wiki pages have been of use to you :-) I'm unsure what you mean by 'dev' libraries?
We could now use the Rocky Linux 10 RPMs (indeed the Errata keeps offering to do updates) but I have assumed that these would not include or exclude the features in the same way, so if we allowed it to update this would break Slurm. Or is this not so?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but my mail wasn't referring to Slurm updates, but to general RockyLinux (or other EL distributions) where kernel and many other updates are currently coming out daily!
It would of course be desirable to be able to apply at least all security updates promptly after they are released.
This is what we do. My method basically does "dnf upgrade" of all updates on compute nodes in a controlled manner and without disturbing any user jobs. Best regards, Ole
