Adding rules_rust release artifacts to Google mirror

[UebelAndre]

rules_rust is planning to start creating releases (bazelbuild/rules_rust#415) and there are some artifacts we associate with each release that we'd like to be able to upload to the Google mirror. Is there an automated way we can have these artifacts uploaded? The artifacts would be a tar.gz of the rules themselves and some rust binaries which power repository rules.

@meteorcloudy FYI

@UebelAndre Unfortunately, mirroring release artifcats has always been manually work. I can help with that.

But with the upcoming Bzlmod and the Bazel Central Registry, this will be automated. Does rules_rust have the plan to support Bzlmod? I'm working on a migration guide and a helper script, will share as soon as possible.

[UebelAndre]

Yes, rules_rust plans to support Bzlmod. Is there a guide on how to integrate it?

[meteorcloudy]

@UebelAndre That's great! Like I said, I'm working on a migration guide and will send it out ASAP, but you can check

• how we added support for rules_java (Migrate remote JDK / Java tools and add Bzlmod support rules_java#45).
• The documentation for Bzlmod: https://bazel.build/docs/bzlmod.
