[slurm-users] SLES 15 rpmbuild from 20.02.5 tarball wants munge-libs: system munge RPMs don't provide it

Thanks for that SUSE background info Christian: wasn't aware of that.

Typically, we only rebuild Slurm for the SLES underneath the Cray CLE,
which, as was noted earlier in the thread, means one is building against
a Cray-built munge anyway, and where one does do an "rpmbuild -ta", albeit
from inside a Cray provided wrapper script that sets a few options along
the way.

I was knocking up a VirtualBox SLES15/Slurm testbed on a laptop, so the
connectivity to build.opensuse.org wasn't something I would have thought
of.

Cheers again,
Kevin
