I hope that someone on the list can help you build Debian packages.
The problem is not just rebuilding Slurm: if I rebuild Slurm, I have to
rebuild OpenMPI, OpenIB and a alot of other stuff that I don't know with
the needed detail.
When you find the time, you must upgrade by at most 2 Slurm versions at
a time, so you have to upgrade in two steps, for example
18.08->19.05->20.11.
I usually just stop everything for the upgrade, then upgrade to whatever
Debian is shipping at the moment. If the history is lost, it's not a big
issue (that's what DB backups are for :) ).
My Slurm upgrade instructions refer to CentOS, but the overall process
would be the same for all Linuxes:

Please read carefully the existing documentation from SchedMD linked to
in this page.
Tks.
I upgrade Slurm frequently and have no problems doing so. We're at
20.11.7 now. You should avoid 20.11.{0-2} due to a bug in MPI.
That's a really useful info.
