--- Comment #5 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb@freebsd.org> ---

Is anyone actually *running* SLURM on FreeBSD?

It's been a while since I've tried, but I was unable to get anything later =
than
20.02.7 working.  Bug 276001 was my last attempt, and I only got as far as
unbreaking the build.  I don't recall the details of why the daemons wouldn=
't
run.

I have always used task/affinity, and it was no longer working last time I
checked.

FYI, I ported SLURM to FreeBSD.  There are many features that never worked =
due
to Linuxisms (like parsing /proc files with scanf()), and the task of keepi=
ng
it working has grown with each new release.  Upstream isn't interested in
supporting other platforms, and in fact only provides significant support to
paying customers.  I finally gave up and started
https://github.com/outpaddling/LPJS/.

At any rate, making SLURM an unconditional dependency for MPI seemed
questionable to me from the beginning, though I understood the desire to av=
oid
creating multiple packages.
