What happened as in "where did it go?" - But it's still there.  What
happened as in "why is it broken?" - AFAIK there is only one
significant bug with custom and that's that it fails to write out the
/etc/sysconfig and /etc/resolv.conf files on "commit" - this has been
fixed in more recent -currents.  I see no reason you should not be
able to invoke it and use it to extract the src distribution.  The
individual steps are quite straight-forward (and well documented).
