It looks to me like that upstream doesn't consider anything
but their binaries as official. :(
This might be due in whole or in part to having to register
the app with the API for each supported service, but the
effect appears to be that no one can build from source
without hitting this limitation.
That is unfortunate, though I'm not sure the Fedora packages
can fix it (upstream might not be able to either).
The package could patch `-DEV` out of the Version string in
fs/version.go, though the packages do try to do that via
LDFLAGS (refer to line 144 in the rclone spec file)¹.
I was curious and killing time avoiding real work, so I
built the package with the version file patched instead of
only trying to override it via LDFLAGS, to see if that
reported the version without the -DEV. It does remove the
'-DEV' suffix:
$ rclone version
rclone v1.57.0
- os/version: fedora 35 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 5.15.16-100.fc34.x86_64 (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.16.13
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none
I don't know if that's enough to allow the build to work
without the 7-day limitation, as I don't use rclone. Please
feel free to give that a try and see if it helps. It'd be
great if it were that simple. If so, I can submit the
change to the package maintainer easily enough.
The scratch build and package changes are at:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/tmz/rpms/rclone/c/9ab47be63?branch=fix-version-string-harder
It would be ideal if upstream and downstream packagers could
come to some sort of arrangement to improve the situation.
That presumes upstream would be interested in having builds
which didn't come directly from their site.
