I have one cluster running v16.05.4 that I would like to upgrade if possible to 19.05.5; it was installed via a .deb package I created back in 2016. I have located a 17.11.7 Ubuntu PPA (https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/slurm) and have myself recently put up one for 19.05.5 (https://launchpad.net/~wdennis/+archive/ubuntu/dhpc-backports). Theoretically, I believe I should be able to upgrade from the 16.05 release to 17.11, then from 17.11 to 19.05, correct? (going under the assumption that can only go forward at most 2 Slurm releases, which went 16.05 -> 17.02 -> 17.11 -> 18.08 -> 19.05, if I am correct.)
