rules_rust Mirror URL for `http

If I use the following snippet from https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/releases/tag/0.8.1:

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
    name = "rules_rust",
    sha256 = "05e15e536cc1e5fd7b395d044fc2dabf73d2b27622fbc10504b7e48219bb09bc",
    urls = [
        "https://mirror.bazel.build/github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/releases/download/0.8.1/rules_rust-v0.8.1.tar.gz",
        "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/releases/download/0.8.1/rules_rust-v0.8.1.tar.gz",
    ],
)

I see the following warning:

WARNING: Download from https://mirror.bazel.build/github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/releases/download/0.8.1/rules_rust-v0.2.1.tar.gz failed: class java.io.FileNotFoundException GET returned 404 Not Found

Looking at https://mirror.bazel.build/ (and also manually guessing other URLs) it seems like none of the rules_rust versions are on the mirror repository - is it possible we're not properly uploading to there?

I was just searching slack for the same issue and saw another user put in their own request for 0.7.0 (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/15881), so I just did the same for 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/16056).

It seems there may be an unresolved problem with the release process.

👋🏼 this seems to happen consistently (0.11.0 also returns a 404). how about the release notes omit the mirror until the issue is resolved? although i thought there was no automated process, just a Googler doing it

Reopening until I’ve had time to remove references to the Google mirror from older release notes.

The release notes have been updated. The only outstanding item is https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/pull/1607
