In building packages, I like using buildpkg since it builds in a confined and reproducible environment. Unfortunately, I am experiencing frequent hangs, when trying to compile the rclone package from the arch linux PKGBUILD. Before trying to look into it more thoroughly, I was wondering if anybody else is experiencing something similar.
example?
I know of the makepkg command
I have never heard of buildpackage
This seems to be related to dpkg and the Debian style way of building packages,

rclone is in the official Manjaro repositories.
sudo pacman -S rclone
Is there a specific reason that you are trying to build the package yourself?
Did you mean buildpkg from manjaro-tools-pkg-git?
If so, it is currently superseded by chrootbuild from manjaro-chrootbuild.
Actually from manjaro-tools-pkg without -git. Nice to find out about the better solution. Will try it!
I know it is. However, the bisync command of rclone is still in rapid development and sometimes buggy. This is why, as soon as a new release of rclone comes out, I build a local package for it and try it on a test machine, before machines that are used for work get that version via the manjaro update.

My mispell, should have been buildpkg
Then it seems to be this is what you are looking for:
Then you have a really old version, because manjaro-tools-pkg hasn’t been in the repos for quite some time.
