Fedora and EPEL 8 and 9 already have a slurm package.
One problem with the EPEL 9 slurm package it is difficult to update.

This submission is based on the existing rawhide spec file.

This package is named slurm26.05 (rather than just "slurm") so that
multiple major versions of Slurm can be packaged in parallel. Each
major release uses a versioned package name matching its release
series, with Conflicts on the unversioned "slurm" packages to
prevent co-installation.

Slurm daemons and commands from different major versions are not
compatible with each other. Upgrading a cluster from one major
version to the next (e.g. 25.11 -> 26.05) requires a coordinated
shutdown and restart of all daemons. A versioned package name lets
administrators install the new version on the system before
performing the switchover, and avoids an unintended major-version
upgrade via a routine "dnf update".
