slurm-builder

Automated builder for the latest stable Slurm Debian packages (.deb). The workflow runs on every push and daily at 10:00 UTC+8, uploads build artifacts, and creates a vX.Y.Z tag and GitHub Release.

Features

• Auto-detect latest version: Parse the newest slurm-X.Y.Z.tar.* from SchedMD's download index.
• Debian packaging: Use upstream Debian packaging with dpkg-buildpackage to produce multiple binary packages.
• Requested components enabled via build deps:
  • acct_gather_energy/ipmi (freeipmi)
  • acct_gather_interconnect/ofed (libibmad, libibumad, etc.)
  • acct_gather_profile/hdf5 (libhdf5-dev)
  • accounting_storage/mysql (default-libmysqlclient-dev)
  • auth/munge (libmunge-dev)
  • auth/slurm (jwt) (libjwt-dev; inject --with-jwt into debian/rules if needed)
  • AutoDetect=nvml (libnvidia-ml-dev or CUDA toolkit as fallback)
  • PAM support (libpam0g-dev)
  • task/affinity (libnuma-dev)
  • task/cgroup (libhwloc-dev, libbpf-dev, libdbus-1-dev)
  • slurmrestd (libjson-c-dev, libhttp-parser-dev, libyaml-dev, libjwt-dev)
  • HTML man pages (man2html)
  • Plus Readline, PMIx, GTK2 (sview) where applicable
• Artifacts and Release: Upload .deb and *.changes as artifacts and create a vX.Y.Z release.

Triggers

• Push to any branch
• Schedule: daily at 10:00 UTC+8 (0 2 * * *)
• Manual: Workflow Dispatch

Workflow: /.github/workflows/main.yaml.

Output Packages

Typically (actual results may vary):

• slurmctld_*.deb
• slurmdbd_*.deb
• slurmd_*.deb
• slurmrestd_*.deb
• slurm-client_*.deb
• slurm-libpmi*_*.deb
• slurm-dev_*.deb
• plus meta slurm-<version>_*.deb and *.changes

Get the build results

• After a PR or push run, download from the run's Artifacts.
• Each successful build publishes a vX.Y.Z Release with all .deb files.

Install example

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ./slurmctld_*.deb ./slurmd_*.deb ./slurm-client_*.deb
# For RESTD, DBD, dev packages, or PMI, install additional .deb as needed

Note: accounting_storage/mysql means the plugin is built. You still need to deploy and configure the database and slurmdbd.

Customize

• Pin a specific Slurm version by modifying the "discover latest version" step in main.yaml.
• Change the schedule via on.schedule.cron (default 0 2 * * *).
• Adjust build dependencies or injected configure flags to match your needs.

Develop & debug

• Manually run via GitHub Actions → Run workflow.
• If features are missing, ensure the proper *-dev packages are installed and check whether debian/rules needs --with-*/--enable-*.
