Thank you everyone, I successfully updated slurm using slurm.spec-legacy.
Cheers,

Also, make sure no 3rd party packages installed software that installs
files in the systemd directories. The legacy spec file still checks
for systemd files to be present:

At my site, we are using a software package that supports both RHEL6
and RHEL7 using the same RPM, so they install the startup files for
both systemd and SysV Init at the same time. This will result in
/usr/lib/systemd/system existing on RHEL6 systems. Yes, this a bad
practice that could be fixed with a conditional somewhere in the RPM
post-install script, or just maintaining two different RPMS for each
RHEL major version #, but it's a commercial packag, and this is what
I'm stuck with. As a result, when I build Slurm using the legacy spec
file, it will still build the systemd unit files and not the SysV
init scripts. If you're in the same situation, the easiest way to fix
it is to edit that conditional and comment out some of the lines, like
this:
#if [ -d /usr/lib/systemd/system ]; then
# install -D -m644 etc/slurmctld.service
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmctld.service
# install -D -m644 etc/slurmd.service
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmd.service
# install -D -m644 etc/slurmdbd.service
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/lib/systemd/system/slurmdbd.service
# %if %{slurm_with cray}
# install -D -m644 contribs/cray/slurmsmwd/slurmsmwd.service
%{buildroot}/%{_unitdir}/slurmsmwd.service
# %endif
#elif [ -d /etc/init.d ]; then
install -D -m755 etc/init.d.slurm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/init.d/slurm
install -D -m755 etc/init.d.slurmdbd
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/init.d/slurmdbd
mkdir -p "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/sbin"
ln -s ../../etc/init.d/slurm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/sbin/rcslurm
ln -s ../../etc/init.d/slurmdbd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/sbin/rcslurmdbd
#fi
It would be great is schedmd could modify the legacy spec file to have
a --without-systemd option for this somewhat rare case, or check for
the existence of the systemd RPMs instead of just the existence of
systemd unit files for this conditional.

Cola,
You need to use the legacy spec file from the contribs directory:
ls -l slurm-18.08.5/contribs/slurm.spec-legacy
-rw-r--r-- 1 mrobbert mrobbert 38574 Jan 30 11:59

Hello,
I'm trying to update slurm to the latest stable version 18.08.5-2. Our
cluster uses CentOS 6.8 and updating it tricky because of Lustre
support.
According to https://slurm.schedmd.com/platforms.html, CentOS 6 is
still supported.
However, `yum-builddep slurm-18.08.5-2/slurm.spec` fails, because
`slurm.spec` contains `BuildRequires: systemd` which is not available
on CentOS 6 (at least on my 6.8 apparently).
Does slurm 18.08 work on mode recent versions of CentOS 6? Am I
missing something, or is the platforms page out of date?
Thanks,
Cola
