Thats easy

There are no more safe repo's for fedora ( freshrpms & dries & atrpms all will try to replace key fedora rpm's )

You can temporary enable updates-testing to update or install packages


su
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install <packagename>

If you want development

try editing the repos

/etc/yum.repos.d

you can enable the fedora-development.repo and disable the fedora.repo
