Note that the above is the process to upgrade a stable or branched
release to rawhide.

Once you have a rawhide install, updating day to day is just
'dnf update'.

That said, step 1 updates your existing install to the latest packages
in enabled repos, 3 then downloads the packages you would need to
upgrade to rawhide, the last one reboots you into the dnf
system-upgrade and it applies those downloads to bring your stable or
branched release to rawhide.

Hope that helps,

kevin

Update and upgrade are synonyms for dnf, they will just do the same thing. There is an email sent to this list and the devel@ list everyday which lists the packages that changed in rawhide that day; that's the 'changelog' for rawhide. The mail title will have 'rawhide report' in it.
