The above repository was meant to host daily snapshots of the vanilla
code. Right now though, it is picking up code from the 2.28 branch. I'll
try to get it to compile the 2.29 series over the holidays.

AFAIK, you only have to install the -devel packages of all the deps.
Shouldn't be harder than having to compile it :-) 
Also, the GNOME:Factory repo is updated with every unstable GNOME
release. You may want to try that as well.
