# yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install preupgrade should get you the 
latest version (0.9.3) along with any required dependencies. Note that 
this is still in testing stage and even if it is isn't, I would strongly 
recommend a backup of your data first. I would be very useful if you 
post a report on how it went to fedora-test list.
