splitting out issues related to RPM from bug#17673 as those changes need to goto Slurm-23.11:

Ole

Added new `--with yaml` argument as an option to the RPM build for Slurm-23.11:
> https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/78c8d4a32a70d78c6d0c77857b5da546291125e3

Closing ticket as I think this should be sufficent for anyone who wants to make sure `--yaml` works. Please respond if there are any more related questions or issues.
