Hi Stefan,

I have not been able to find any 18.08.x PPAs; I myself have backported the latest Debian HPC Team release of 19.05.5 into my PPA - https://launchpad.net/~wdennis/+archive/ubuntu/dhpc-backports

I have also created local packages of 18.08.6.2, but only for Ubuntu 16.04, for my own use... 

Could you not use my 19.05 PPA to upgrade your 17.11? I think that meets the "no more than 2 releases" rule (17.11 -> 18.08 -> 19.05)

Best,
Will

Hello,

seems that the is a single package only in the PPA and the SystemD units are missing.

Is there a PPA that provides Slurm 18.08.x spitted in different packages like Ubuntu does?

Best,
Stefan
