My impression is, that there are multiple challenges why it's not easy to create good-for-all recent slurm RPM:

- NVML dependency - different sites use different NVML lib version with varying update cycle - pmi* deps - some sites (like mine) is using only one reasonable recent openpmix, I know other sites, using eg. Impi with different pmi configuration requirements
- EL release cycle vs. Slurm release schedule is (fortunately!) not aligned

BTw. there is HPC-SIG group in Rocky Linux interested in packaging slurm..
OpenHPC has also own distribution of slurm rpms, and there used to be some in EPEL too.

I ended writing GitHub action building the rpms for me.. and I must say that SchedMD maintains quite stable and predictable build procedure, so usually bumping version(s) is enough.

Why doesn't RHEL 8 get a newer version? Can someone update the repo maintainer Philip Kovacs <https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/pkfed> <pk...@fedoraproject.org>? There was a ticket at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1912491 but no movement on RHEL 8.
