Description tobias.borgert@posteo.de 2025-06-11 18:12:04 UTC
Description of problem: The SPEC for the slurm source package deliberately removes the symlink from libslurmfull.so to libslurmfull-{version}.so. This breaks building PySlurm on Fedora until you create the symlink yourself, as the build system for pyslurm is looking for libslurmfull.so.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 24.05.2

How reproducible: Always, clone https://github.com/PySlurm/pyslurm, checkout tag v24.05.1, try to build it against the EPEL Slurm packages.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Clone https://github.com/PySlurm/pyslurm
2.Checkout tag v24.05.1
3.Run pip install .

Actual results: The build system cannot find slurm

Expected results:The build succeeds

Additional info: Manually adding the symlink works. As I don't understand the reason for removing the symlink deliberately at all and this bug report basically invalidates the comment trying to explain why it is removed in the SPEC file, I'd just suggest that we don't remove that symlink.
