Whenever I review repositories in my leap 15.6 system, there are a half-of-a-dozen source code and debug repos installed. They are installed but not enabled,
I manually delete them but next time I review the repos they are back. I do not know what is reinstalling them. Is there some setting where I am asking for them?? I do not remember seeing such a thing.
Just a minor annoyance but do not like something installing repos without my knowledge.
thanks, tom kosvic
I assume this is done by the package openSUSE-repos-Leap (and there is another one `openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDIA).
They seem to have been developed to be of help to system managers who can not manage their repository list.
Removing the package(s) will stop what you reported.
This was already discussed and mentioned several times. The repo definitions are now in most cases managed by a service which is part of the package openSUSE-repos-Leap. You can’t modify the base repos when the package is installed.
This is to help unexperienced users to manage their repos and prevent destructive changes to the standard repos.
I am not finding repo culprits mentioned in your responses in my list. For reference, I include following.

As mentioned: the repo definitions are provided by packages
zypper se -si openSUSE-repos-Leap
zypper se -si openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDIA
After removing the packages you need to add the standard repos yourself…
I still need to review this.
If I leave things as they are all I will have is “not enabled” source code and debug repos added, right?
So, No harm- no foul.
I will let it be for now.
thanks, tom kosvic
If I delete above referenced packages through zypper, will all my existing repos be deleted? Need to know so as to retain copy for reinstall.
That is explained in the link.
Why??? The package is gone, it will do nothing anymore.
Yes, it does. (Edit: Except the ones you have installed manually.) Just tried:
pluto:~ # zypper rm openSUSE-repos-Leap

Note all enabled repos have filenames that differ from OEM repo files. I have about 20 15.6 installations. Each uses a copy of each of the .repo files kept on my LAN server. If I find the timestamps have changed, I know something besides me changed something. There are no repo services enabled here. As the now empty files are originally provided by the openSUSE-release package, their existence is forced whenever the package is installed or re-installed. The only way that I’m aware of to not have them affect matters of importance to me is forcing them to remain empty in the manner exhibited above.
Hi @mrmazda ,
Sorry, too late:
I just tried removing the package “openSUSE-repos-Leap” (which also removed “openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDA”). All the repos that have been mentioned in the output I posted here have actually been removed. That’s shown by the “zypper lr -d” which shouldn’t be too hard too check without “LANG=C”. It’s just missing the relevant repos.
Constructing a .repo file requires little effort. Here is one of my working ones:
# cat /etc/zypp/repos.d/OSS.repo
[OSS]
autorefresh=1
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.6/repo/oss/
enabled=1
keeppackages=0
name=OSS
path=/
type=rpm-md
#
Using yours that remain as templates and/or starting points you can construct the rest by using the URLs already provided here. Or, reinstall package openSUSE-repos-Leap, copy the files it creates, remove the package, then copy the files back, preferably using different filenames and editing each file’s repo name (like I do and showed). Or, copy from one of your backups, or another Leap computer. You also have the option to substitute $releasever for 15.6 in each file’s URL.
Thanks for the advice. 
That’s what I have done immediately. I don’t really have an issue. I just wanted to point out that repos actually get removed along with the package openSUSE-repos-Leap. No more, no less.
I was actually surprised that repos that I had in my regular repo list for years have been removed along. On the other hand, I don’t know anymore if I actually installed the package openSUSE-repos-Leap manually and what the output had been. So, in my specif case it might be a simple PEBKAC.
ok, after all the controversy, if I wish to not have debug and source repos in my repo list, can I:
openSUSE-repos-Leap and `openSUSE-repos-Leap-NVIDIA packages, andand be back to where I was.
thanks, tom kosvic
Perhaps it is the meaning of your term “repo definitions” that keeps me from understanding the point you are making and what is wrong with my step-wise procedure.
Would you amplify the meaning of the term “repo definitions”? Yes, the “repo definitions” from the repo packages would be cooked into the current /etc/zypp/repos.d directory items. But, what are they?
The important information is in the link to github where it is explained how to get back the original repo setup.
