I expect our CI to fail until the cuda-version gets updated to 12.8.

Yes, we need to wait until 12.8.0 appears here:
https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/redist/
then we update the CI to use 12.8 packages:

• build stage:

  cuda-python/.github/workflows/build-and-test.yml

  Lines 32 to 34 in 023c4bf

  	cuda-version:
  	# Note: this is for build-time only.
  	- "12.6.2"

• test stage:

  cuda-python/.github/workflows/build-and-test.yml

  Lines 221 to 225 in 023c4bf

  	cuda-version:
  	# Note: this is for test-time only.
  	- "12.6.2"
  	- "12.0.1"
  	- "11.8.0"

@vzhurba01 12.8 is up, could you try to update the workflow files and see how things go?

/ok to test

[leofang]

ah nice you've already updated the workflow, thanks 🙏

[ksimpson-work]

approved conditionally on the CI :)

[leofang]

CI seems to function surprisingly smoothly (except for the awkwardly long queue). Considering the steps of the CTK release process (binary archives, wheels, ...) it is actually well executed!

[leofang]

Taking a note before merging; @ksimpson-work we should ensure the following are addressed before release.

• cuda-python has no release notes for 11.8.6 & 12.8.0
• cuda-bindings needs to update the release notes to 12.8.0
• cuda-bindings 11.8.x branch needs to bump the version number to 11.8.6 and add a release note

Merging, thanks Vlad!

[jakirkham]

Hooray! 🥳

Thanks Leo, Vlad, and Keenan 🙏
