Which Rust toolchain are you compiling with?

[Morganamilo]

The debug symbols contain filepaths. There's not anything to be done on paru's side.

[marcstraube]

I've used the default rust toolchain. I know that the warning is nothing serious, but I thought I might inform you nonetheless.

This is an upstream issue with Rust as a whole, and is a real pain for reproducible builds.

It can be somewhat comabtted by using --remap-path-prefix, but even Arch's in-repo packages do not do it. Take, for example, tokei. If you use that PKGBUILD, you will get the same warning from makepkg.

Anyways, what I am trying to say is that there is no reason to keep this issue open here, because it's a problem of either Arch or Rust as a whole, and, for now, there is not anything that paru has to do to address this.

It's open because I did want to tackle it. I opened https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/9407 ages ago but didn't have the time to continue with it. If I find the time I'd like to get it finished.
