 Another approach is building an rpmdb for the latest rawhide tree:

rpm --justdb --ignoresize --noscripts --notriggers --nodigest --dbpath 
<path/to/new rpmdb> -i *.rpm

 Update /etc/rpm/macros.solve to point to the new rpmdb and the package 
directory. Now issue

rpm -F --aid *.rpm

 --aid will take care of all dependencies. The only thing it fails to do is 
replacing redhat-release with rawhide-release. Saves you the time to sort 
out which packages you need to upgrade. Very neat.

Bye,
Leonard.
