The main focus of this package is the new C++ server, under thrift/lib/cpp2. This repo also contains a branch of the rest of apache thrift's repo with any changes Facebook has made, however the build system only supports cpp2.
Apache thrift is at http://thrift.apache.org/
For your convenience, a build script is provided for ubuntu 12.10 64-bit:
cd fbthrift/thrift ./deps.sh
It will automatically pull down folly and build it, and then configure and build thrift.

Facebook's folly library: http://www.github.com/facebook/folly
