slurmctld (20.02.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  The configuration directory has been moved from /etc/slurm-llnl to
  /etc/slurm. The upgrade process will copy the existing configuration
  files. The directory is managed by the slurm-wlm-basic-plugin package
  that will handle the transition for any kind of host (client hosts,
  slurmctld, slurmd and slurmdbd server hosts).

  The new recommend locations for the Slurm state files are under
  /var/lib/slurm and for the log files are under /var/log/slurm, but you
  can safely keep using the old locations (/var/lib/slurm-llnl and
  /var/log/slurm-llnl). The packages scripts will still handle log
  rotation and directory removal on purging.

slurmctld (18.08.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  If you are upgrading Slurm from stretch or an older version of Debian,
  please make sure there is no job running in your cluster: upgrading
  directly from a version earlier than 17.02 will result in loss of
  state information. Even if you plan to quick upgrade from 14.03 ->
  15.08 -> 16.05 -> 17.02, you will need to wait until after those jobs
  are gone before you upgrade to 18.08.

  The pid file for the slurmctld and slurmd daemons has been moved to /run, the
  installation process will update /etc/slurm-llnl/slurm.conf for you if
  it points to the original location under /var/run/slurm-llnl

  The default value are now:

  SlurmctldPidFile=/run/slurmctld.pid
  SlurmdPidFile=/run/slurmd.pid

  These parameters can be omitted.

  Please be sure to update the value of these parameters on your cluster
  configuration management system or if you set them in a file using the
  Include directive.
