Rawhide

Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fedora Rawhide is a rolling release of Fedora, built daily, and designed for developers to test with. It uses packages that are built from git repositories, release candidates, etc. that are considered to be usable. [35]

Switch to and from Rawhide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is possible to switch from Fedora Rawhide back to a stable release. [36][37]

.. code-block:: sh
$ export FEDORA_RELEASE=39
$ sudo -E dnf distro-sync --releasever=${FEDORA_RELEASE} --refresh --disablerepo rawhide --enablerepo fedora --allowerasing --best
Alternatively, upgrade from a stable release to Fedora Rawhide.
