commit 8c8cb013fa438ed2475206807b52e6efd2ed0a98
Author: Pete Travis <immanetize at fedoraproject.org>

    Updated the upgrade section to have a better warning about third party repos.
    Removed next_steps/finishing an upgrade, because most of that content is in the Upgrade section and the rest seems orphaned and unneeded.

-		<!-- <para>
-		  If you chose to upgrade your system from a previous release rather than perform a fresh installation, you may want to examine the differences in the package set. <xref linkend="sn-upgrade-tree-x86"/> advised you to create a package listing for your original system.  You can now use that listing to determine how to bring your new system close to the original system state.
-		</para> -->
-		<!-- 	<para>
-		You can obtain a list of <firstterm>orphaned</firstterm> packages (that is, packages that are no longer in the repositories) from the <application>package-cleanup</application> tool. Install the <package>yum-utils</package> package and then run <command>package-cleanup - -orphans</command>. The tool will show you orphaned packages and packages that are partially uninstalled but for which the <application>%postun</application> script failed.
-	</para>  --> <para>
-			Most software repository configurations are stored in packages that end with the term <literal>release</literal>. Check the old package list for the repositories that were installed:
-		</para>
-		 
-<screen><command>awk '{print $1}' ~/old-pkglist.txt | grep 'release$'</command></screen>
-		 <para>
-			If necessary, retrieve and install these packages from their original sources on the Internet. Follow the instructions at the originating site to install the repository configuration packages for use by <command>yum</command> and other software management tools on your Fedora system.
-		</para>
-		 <para>
-			Then run the following commands to make a list of other missing software packages:
-		</para>
-		 
-<screen><command>awk '{print $1}' ~/old-pkglist.txt | sort | uniq &gt; ~/old-pkgnames.txt</command>
-<command>rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}\n' | sort | uniq &gt; ~/new-pkgnames.txt</command>
-<command>diff -u ~/old-pkgnames.txt ~/new-pkgnames.txt | grep '^-' | sed 's/^-//' &gt; /tmp/pkgs-to-install.txt</command></screen>
-		 <para>
-			Now use the file <filename>/tmp/pkgs-to-install.txt</filename> with the <command>yum</command> command to restore most or all of your old software:
-		</para>
-		 
-<screen><command>su -c 'yum install `cat /tmp/pkgs-to-install.txt`'</command></screen>
-		 <important>
-			<title>Missing Software</title>
-			 <para>
-				Due to changes in package complements between Fedora releases, it is possible this method may not restore all the software on your system. You can use the routines above to again compare the software on your system, and remedy any problems you find.
