Long story short: Does someone keep those intermediate versions, and maybe builds ahead of the official distro ones? I can't be alone with this problem...

Hi,

We do have the same deb-upgrade policy (we upgrade every two major Debian releases).

I simply build localy some intermediate major slurm version(s) (in /opt, for instance, from https://download.schedmd.com/slurm/), on the slurm controller, only to run the slurmdbd upgrade once. Then trash it.

It has worked well from deb9 to deb11 to deb13...

Hope this help.

Bests, Loïs
