Did you have trouble with buildrom-devel? I mean building the packages etc. 
Currently I can't get it to work. 

sed tool can be sensitive to locale (in bad way). I have seen that several 
times and the solution is that my estonian default needs "export LC_ALL=en" 
and things start working (especiell configure scripts ). What is your default 
locale and did you have similar trouble?

thanks,
Indrek
