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%C2%A0 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 Last metadata expiration check: 0:33:15 ago on Tue Apr 1 18:03:07 2025. Available Packages slurm-slurmd.x86_64 24.11.3-1.el9 bb-local
$ sudo dnf install slurm-slurmd Last metadata expiration check: 0:33:03 ago on Tue Apr 1 18:03:25 2025. 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
There are multiple supported releases, and you can upgrade from any of the last 3 releases at present, which are released every 6 months.
Major releases are more disruptive, and there is support for the previous versions to provide continuity of support.
