Hello everyone,
I’d like to briefly introduce myself and share some good news.
I maintain the FreeBSD port of Slurm (sysutils/slurm-wlm) and have just completed the upgrade to the latest release. Alongside this, several FreeBSD-related fixes I had been maintaining locally have now been merged upstream by SchedMD engineers, which is an encouraging step for portability.
With the updated port now running reliably on FreeBSD, I can offer: - Regular build and runtime testing of Slurm on FreeBSD, - Feedback on portability patches and non-Linux code paths, - Collaboration with anyone interested in running or experimenting with Slurm on BSD systems.
My goal is to help ensure that Slurm remains portable and usable on FreeBSD, and to contribute back testing and fixes where possible.
If you’re working on anything that may affect portability, feel free to reach out — I’d be glad to test and provide results from the FreeBSD side.
Best regards, Rikka Göring
