You might be able to use the package source from trunk to build the Torque
2.x OSCAR package via the OPD interface. I am not sure though.
If you want to install a particular version of Torque from source, it should
be fine. OSCAR doesn't depend on Torque for anything but its after install
testing, and that is likely to work if you set up torque in the same way as
OSCAR does. Worst case scenario is that the tests all read as failed. The
only tricky part is that you will have to build it on the node image as
well, if you want to keep things consistent. If you chroot to the image
directory and do the same steps you would to set up a node, it should work
more or less as expected, though generally you get some nasty warnings
because of the funny environment.
Remember to build maui support into Torque if you want to continue to more
than FIFO scheduling available.
I would use the oscar setup scripts from trunk as a todo list for the setup
if I was going to do it by hand.

Subject: [Oscar-users] upgrading torque?
Because my platform is IA64, I am running OSCAR 4.2.1, and cannot upgrade
to 5.0. The version of Torque in 4.2.1 is 1.2.0p5-2, which is just crazy
old. I would like to get my cluster up to version 2.x to take advantage
of some features in 2.x that aren't in 1.2, but I don't know if this is
possible.
Would it break a lot of things to upgrade just Torque on my system? Is
this something that plugs in relatively generically to the OSCAR framework,
or is it really tightly integrated, such that I can't upgrade on my own?
Thanks,
--Joe
