I have no idea what you mean by custom package / PKGBUILD.
Find where? On your computer, on the Internet?

I think you should have put them in e.g. a custom group (if you didn't want to change the package name), it would make finding them trivial.
Maybe you can compare the checksums? Do you have a place where you store all your custom PKGBUILDs?

Why do you want to find them?

Re: [SOLVED] How find all "custom" packages ?

You are making little sense, but if you want to know what custom-packages are installed you can use `pacman -Qm`. If you want the actual packages, that isn't possible, they aren't stored somewhere like the installed packages (which are in /var/cache/pacman/pkk)

/var/log/pacman.log
is the best I can think of

Re: [SOLVED] How find all "custom" packages ?

Do you mean you just want to know which packages you have installed that are not official Arch packages?

For example, if the package is not in the repos you can list them with pacman -Qm.  See the pacman man page:

-m, --foreign

Restrict or filter output to packages that were not found in the sync database(s). Typically these are packages that were downloaded manually and installed with --upgrade.

OP can still use bacman to create *.pkg.tar* packages out of those installed - custom or not.
