Suppose you want to install a development package "mysql-server 4.1.7" from Fedora Development Repo.
First, you need to enable it by changing the option "enabled" from 0 to 1 in fedora-devel.repo file:
[tchung@tchung-fc3 ~]$ sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo [development] name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-rawhide enabled=1
But soon you will notice that it did not install the development package you wanted.
Even if you have imported GPG Public Key for Fedora Base/Updates and Fedora Development/Test packages from Fedora Project.
For installing GPG Public Key for Fedora Base/Updates, see How to install GPG Key for yum in FC3.
For installing GPG Public Key for Fedora Development/Test packages, see Fedora Project GPG Keys page.

So why it didn't install? Because it was not signed with GPG Key.
You need to aware of the fact that NOT all development packages are signed with GPG Key unlike Fedora base or updates packages.
So how do you install unsigned development packages with yum? Add following option:
[development] name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-rawhide enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
Now you should be able to install unsigned development packages with yum in FC3:

In order to receive only stable and signed packages from Fedora Base repo and Fedora Updates repo,
you need to disable development repo by changing back the option "enabled" from 1 to 0 in fedora-devel.repo file.
[tchung@tchung-fc3 ~]$ sudo vi /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-devel.repo [development] name=Fedora Core $releasever - Development Tree #baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/$basearch/ mirrorlist=http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-rawhide enabled=0 gpgcheck=0
1. Add the gpgcheck=0 entry to fedora-devel.repo as shown in the article, but leave enabled=0.
2. Install the required packages as follows:
$ sudo yum --enablerepo=development install mysql-server
