This is my first (and second) try at makepkg. I believe I've followed the makepkg wiki closely, just experimenting using the example package rufus. I also tried with a different package and got the same error.
bsdtar: Failed to open '/home/user/packages/rufus-0.7.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': Permission denied
==> ERROR: Failed to create package file.Any insight would be greatly appreciated

What's your working directory when you run makepkg? (pwd)
It seems you're trying to put a created package in a nonexistent location or one you have no write rights to. Perhaps you have PKGDEST set to /home/user/packages in /etc/makepkg.conf (is "user" your actual username?).

I have to chalk this one up to operator error. Much too long a day and too late at night. I created that directory as root, just typed it out as a user and never saw the error. Next morning I had an idea what I did, I just haven't been able to get back to it till now
Thanks for your input
