Issues editing PKGBUILD with trizen; also errors about tarballs

I have been using trizen as my AUR helper.  I am currently trying to install rstudio from the AUR, which requires soci.  First is that soci requires the PKGBUILD to be edited, but when I answer "y" to whether I want to edit, I get dumped in the vim editor, only to be told that the file is read-only.  So I decided to install yay (using trizen), only to end up with the error: "Unable to find a built tarball for yay".  This leads to two questions:

1.  How can I edit a PKGBUILD file using trizen?
2.  How can I surmount the issue of a tarball not being found?

Many thanks,
Alasdair

Did you try using makepkg on its own?
