Hi,
what's the proper steps to install kernel (modules, headers, etc) from rawhide. And I want to keep 'em updated, without breaking any other stuff or pulling another rawhide packages.
The reason I want this is to install 4.3+ kernel because it seems it should have fixed thunderbolt2 support for new 2015 macbooks.

I don't know.

Then, I would suggest you download 4.3.x from kernel.org directly. Take a look into /boot, copy the .config of your actual kernel into the 4.3 sourcetree. You can follow these steps to compile your kernel:
make oldconfig (you'll have to make some decisions here) make make modules_install make install
Your new kernel will live peacefully together with all your other Fedora kernels installed. If you do not need it any longer some time in the future, just delete the related files in /boot and /lib/modules, and remove the sourcetree.
Have done that all my life, since I'm using a heavily customised configuration which requires compiling a new kernel anyway.

You might try enabling this repository:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug
This contains the latest rawhide kernel, but with debugging off.
Thanks, Matt, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Rawhide is a topic for the Test list, where testers hang out. It's not appropriate for the Users list (this one).

In this case, though, it's an entirely user-focused concern: getting early access to a kernel version which is known to fix a specific bug. Seems on-topic to me!

In that case, wouldn't you want to get it from a testing repo instead of rawhide?

Exactly. Especially as (not improbably) there may be issues with it.

I suppose I would *want* to, but if it's not available, hey, cool, there's a way to get it from rawhide.
