Mirror URL for http_archive give 404s

[binoche9]

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 (bazelbuild/bazel#15881), so I just did the same for 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 (bazelbuild/bazel#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 #1607
