Enable the testing repo and install the package:

	# dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing <package-name>

Pretty simple.

I think you forgot the "install" directive.  :-)

You may need to add --refresh if it's been pushed recently to update the
metadata.

You can enable testing repo temporary for whole package that available
to test with
$ dnf update --enablerepo=updates-testing

or just install any package that you want with
$ dnf install <foo> --enablerepo=updates-testing

That enables the repo for the duration of the command, but does nothing
with it.

BTW it also produces an error message.

The actual dnf command (install, update, ...) is required.

What error message? No operation?

I was assuming some skill on the part of the user.  For anyone
familiar with dnf it would stand to reason the command would have
to be appended.  Patrick has been on this list for years, so he isn't a
newbie. I agree, though, that I was being lazy.  Fortunately, he
received lots of complete answers if he wasn't able to use mine.

$ sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing             
usage: dnf [options] COMMAND

List of Main Commands:

autoremove                remove all unneeded packages that were originally installed as
dependencies
check                     check for problems in the packagedb
check-update              check for available package upgrades

...

Yes, the command for installing something from that repo would be:

	$ sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing install <packagename>

I thought I had posted that precise command earlier in this thread, but
looking back, no, I didn't include the command verb (in this case,
"install"). My bad.

Sorry.
