Hi,
For building master you generally want to enable Fedora's 
updates-testing repository.
Sometimes there are other repos/packages needed as well but we try to 
keep them to a minimum. When someone brings in a dependency outside 
updates/updates-testing should announce it on the list; if that doesn't 
happen, feel free to shout at them.
