Ok, now you're running make in the correct directory, however ...

... this means that the embedded script was not found.

As mentioned the script contents and path need to be adjusted for what's 
appropriate for bfo. The reason I didn't say anything explicitly is that 
there seems to be conflicting information in the files README vs 
FEDORA-INFRA in fedora-infrastructure.git.

After a bit of investigation it seems that README corresponds to current 
situation while FEDORA-INFRA does not.

Perhaps we could continue to discussion about these details off-list or 
on IRC as needed?

Thanks,
