1.7.8 binaries with GPU support (R package)

[jaguerrerod]

I only find GPU binaries for 1.7.6 here https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/releases?page=2
1.7.7 and 1.7.8 not appears in releases pages, being 1.7.8 stable version on CRAN.
I get very different results in paiwise models using 1.7.6 vs using 1.7.8 and I would like to test the GPU version for 1.7.8 (R package)
Is there instructions to compile 1.7.8 from source to get R package with GPU support?
EDIT: And where can I find the release code for 1.7.8 that in CRAN is updated / built on 2024-07-24?
Thank you

@trivialfis Can you take a look?

You can download the source from cran. Alternatively, use the 1.7 branch of this github repo. Here's the version bump PR:#10620 You can track the changes there as well.

Would you like to share a code example?

See the 1.7 doc here: https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/release_1.7.0/build.html#building-r-package-with-gpu-support .
