That makes sense. Though I would prefer that they made a choice for the
db in the spec file. Just makes it easier for people who aren't experts
in building packages. And slurmdbd will work with both mysql and mariadb
regardless of what it was built against.
Thanks for the update,
Christian.

For the record: The Slurm developers has found it tricky to write a
slurm.spec file which requires the mysql-devel package and still works
in all environments, see https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6488
My recommendation[1] is therefore to explicitly require mysql when
building Slurm RPMs:
export VER=20.02.1-1
rpmbuild -ta slurm-$VER.tar.bz2 --with mysql
This will catch the case where you forgot to install
mysql-devel/mariadb-devel.
