How does one update the fedora-release to rawhide?
rpm -Uvh --force http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/fedora-release-5-rawhide.noarch.rpm

Why do you need to use --force there?

Because "rawhide" < "5" in rpm ordering.

A better way to deal with this would be to give the rawhide package a
_version_ between

	  5 < version < 5.90

The rationale is that 5.90 will be the first test release of FC6 so
the version string should stay below this one. Maybe 5.5 would be a
good indicator of where the user is when using rawhide.

Perhaps we could treat it like other packages in /development. That is, make it 5.90 until FC6 test 1 goes out then bump it to 5.91 until test2 is out, etc... and within the package have /etc/fedora-release actually contain "Fedora Core test 1 of release 6 (rawhide)"
Just an idea.
