I recently looked at the content in my /etc/zypp/repos.d

As shown above, I find some files beginning with “openSUSE” as the filename, which I believe are created after installing some packages ( I can not remember the name of them ) recommend by YAST software management.
By comparing one of those
File: openSUSE:repo-oss.repo
───────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1 │ [openSUSE:repo-oss]
2 │ name=repo-oss
3 │ enabled=1
4 │ autorefresh=1
5 │ baseurl=http://cdn.opensuse.org/tumbleweed//repo/oss
6 │ service=openSUSE
with
File: repo-oss.repo.rpmsave
───────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1 │ [repo-oss]
2 │ name=openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
3 │ enabled=1
4 │ autorefresh=1
5 │ baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/
6 │ path=/
7 │ type=rpm-md
8 │ keeppackages=0
Both of them seem to point to the different url for the oss repo…
But by looking at the content in these two different url, they seems very similar.
So what is the difference between these two repos?
And it seems that the repo “repo-oss”, for example, does not show up in my repo list.
