Why doesn't RHEL 8 get a newer version? Can someone update the repo maintainer Philip Kovacs https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/pkfed < pkfed@fedoraproject.org>? There was a ticket at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1912491 but no movement on RHEL 8.
This isn't answering your question, but I strongly suggest you build Slurm from source. You can use the provided slurm.spec file to make rpms (we do) or use "configure + make". Apart from being able to upgrade whenever a new version is out (especially important for security!), you can tailor the rpms/build to your needs (IB? SlingShot? Nvidia? etc.).
I agree with Bjørn to build it from source to have more control. We do it with tarballs like schedmd suggests so we can also easily switch between versions without deleting/installing rpms/debs.

I agree that Slurm should be built from the source tar-balls in stead of installed some (outdated) repo. Detailed installation instructions are in my Slurm Wiki page https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_installation/
Best regards, Ole
My impression is, that there are multiple challenges why it's not easy to create good-for-all recent slurm RPM:
- NVML dependency - different sites use different NVML lib version with varying update cycle - pmi* deps - some sites (like mine) is using only one reasonable recent openpmix, I know other sites, using eg. Impi with different pmi configuration requirements - EL release cycle vs. Slurm release schedule is (fortunately!) not aligned
BTw. there is HPC-SIG group in Rocky Linux interested in packaging slurm.. OpenHPC has also own distribution of slurm rpms, and there used to be some in EPEL too.
I ended writing GitHub action building the rpms for me.. and I must say that SchedMD maintains quite stable and predictable build procedure, so usually bumping version(s) is enough.
cheers
