Hi SLURM devs, TL;DR: What magic incantations are needed to preprocess the slurm.spec file in SLURM 15?
Our cluster is currently running SLURM version 15.08.11. We are planning some downtime to upgrade to 17 and then to 19, and in preparation for the upgrade I'm simulating the upgrade steps in libvirt Vagrant VMs with Ansible playbooks. However the issue I'm running into is using the GitHub tarball [1] the slurm.spec file has invalid entries: pan14001@becat-pan ~/src/ansible-hpc-storrs $ vagrant ssh head1 Last login: Thu Jun 6 14:00:18 2019 from 192.168.121.1 [vagrant@head1 ~]$ sudo su - [root@head1 ~]# cd /tmp/ [root@head1 tmp]# rpmbuild -ta ~/src/slurm-15-08-11-1.tar.gz error: line 89: Tag takes single token only: Name: see META file [root@head1 tmp]# tar --strip-components=1 -xf ~/src/slurm-15-08-11-1.tar.gz slurm-slurm-15-08-11-1/slurm.spec [root@head1 tmp]# grep -F META slurm.spec Name: see META file Version: see META file Release: see META file [root@head1 tmp]# In the past when we installed SLURM we used the tarballs from the slurm.schedmd.com website which behaved differently. But I see those tarballs have been removed due to the security vulnerability (CVE-2018-10995); all versions of Slurm prior to 17.02.11 or 17.11.7 are no longer available for download from the SchedMD website. Presumably there is some preprocessing step to substitute the "see META file" comments strings? I'm not able to find any build automation that processes the slurm.spec file.
