Right, Fedora moved to bluez5, and blueman doesn't work with bluez5.

You would not only have to build blueman, but bluez4 and rebuild all
your applications with it and possibly port some of them back to 4 that
dropped support for it. ;( 

Happily, I see there is development again on porting blueman to bluez5,
so when/if that happens hopefully it will be shipped again.
