In passing, this does not work on CentOS 7 (don't ask...)

$ rpmbuild -ta --clean munge-0.5.18.tar.xz
error: Failed build dependencies:
        systemd-rpm-macros is needed by munge-0.5.18-1.el7.x86_64

>From brief reading, the required macro is provided by the system package on
CentOS 7 but munge has an explicit check.  As CentOS 7 isn't supported, it's
just another reason to get rid of it.

On my Rocky Linux 9/10 systems this worked fine (with appropriate el9/el10),
pushed from Foreman:

munged --version
rpm -Uvh /home/apps/slurm/munge/munge-libs-0.5.18-1.el10.x86_64.rpm
/home/apps/slurm/munge/munge-0.5.18-1.el10.x86_64.rpm
munged --version
systemctl restart munge

Just a small note on Munge [1] for those of you with RPM-based systems:

Build Munge 0.5.18 RPM packages by:

wget
https://github.com/dun/munge/releases/download/munge-0.5.18/munge-0.5.18.tar
.xz

rpmbuild -ta munge-0.5.18.tar.xz

and install the packages from the directory ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ (or
whatever your architecture is).

Best regards,
Ole
