I'm the openSUSE packager but last week when I helped Jeremiah to understand 
the build process on OpenBuild Service, I added a Fedora 19 build target to my 
repositories: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/edogawa/Fedora_19/

That's basically Jeremiah's work, I only accepted his changes, created a FC19 
repo 
and changed a few of his modifications to simplify the .spec file a bit.

I'm not familiar with Fedora, so I can't tell you how to add this to your 
package manager, but you can always grab the binary rpms from that URL 
directly...

I'm not sure if anyone has tested these but I'm pretty confident they should 
work. 
Please report back!
