Any info on how to do this with RPMFusion's rawhide repo? – Ray Foss Jun 02 '15 at 00:05

Same with dnf. To upgrade an existing package, add `--best --allowerasing` (it tells you if you need). – Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin May 08 '16 at 10:24

This is the top search result for this inquiry. Key signing has changed for F27 on, so to pull a package from rawhide use the following:

sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide -y
sudo dnf --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rawhide --releasever=[next release #, e.g. if you're on 27 use 28] install [package name]

You can also import the key manually from the Fedora website or force an unauthenticated upgrade to the newest fedora-repos.

If you already have the package installed and you want to pull in a _newer_ version from Rawhide, you need `upgrade`, not `install`, but this is otherwise correct. – ptomato Feb 19 '18 at 04:39

It seems `--releasever=[n+1]` is presently critical to avoid "Import of key(s) didn't help, wrong key(s)?" error (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1473241, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1456079). Except that didn't work for me either. – Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin Oct 22 '19 at 15:30
