http://www.google.de/search?hl=en-DE&source=hp&q=manjaro.org+hacked&gbv=2&oq=manjaro.org+hacked&gs_l=heirloom-hp.3...1294.7531.0.8326.5.3.0.2.0.0.101.251.2j1.3.0.msedr...0...1ac.1j2.34.heirloom-hp..5.0.0.Vk_SxENhHy4

So the homepage perhaps was hacked or just the Google hit's link was
hacked, IOW Google, not Manjaro. I don't care, when I followed links, I
had to read "makepkg: invalid option '--asroot' unable to read
pkgbuild", that does mean, that Arch Linux simply is not the right
distro for those, who don't know how to read news. Arch based distros
can not be used/maintained in the same way Ubuntu based distros can be
used/maintained. Arch based distros are user-centric
( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way#User-centric ).
