[slurm-users] Slurm v22 for Alma 8

[David Thompson]

Just for the data bank: the EPEL el9 source RPM for slurm v22 builds “just fine” on Alma 8. The issue turned out to be a bug/feature in the slurm_addto_id_char_list-test check (make check-TESTS) where the check fails if the user executing the build has a supplemental group with a space in the group name.

Again, thanks Paul/Brian for the assistance.

Hi Paul, thanks for passing that along. The error I saw was coming from the rpmbuild %check stage in the el9/fc38 builds, which your .spec file doesn’t run (likewise the spec file included in the schedmd tarball). Certainly one way to avoid failing a check is to not run it.

Regardless, I appreciate the help.

Yup, here is the spec we use that works for CentOS 7, Rocky 8, and Alma 8.

Hi folks, I’m working on getting Slurm v22 RPMs built for our Alma 8 Slurm cluster. We would like to be able to use the sbatch –prefer option, which isn’t present in the current EPEL el8 rpms (version 20.11.9). Rebuilding from either the el9 or fc38 SRPM or fails on a protocol test in testsuite/slurm_unit/common/slurm_protocol_defs:

FAIL: slurm_addto_id_char_list-test

Before I start digging in, I thought I would check here and see if anyone has a successful RHEL/Alma/Rocky 8 slurm v22 SRPM they’d be willing to share. Thanks much!
