Too many duplicate repositories after fresh install - what I can remove please?

I have all main repositories twice in my zypper/Yast repository configuration after fresh install. And they are all marked as active.

For example URL http://download.opensuse.org/slowroll/repo/oss is there twice, under only mildly different labels and ‘service’, whatever it is.

espinosa-asus:/home/espinosa # zypper lr -E
Repository priorities in effect:                                          (See 'zypper lr -P' for details)
      80 (raised priority)  :  1 repository
      99 (default priority) :  8 repositories

I can remove the debug and source repositories, but they are not enabled.

For the duplicates, I would remove the ones that are not identified as a service, since the service file will, as I understand it, re-add the service repos if they’re missing.

That would be the Main OSS, Main Non-OSS, Main Update, and debug/source repos that aren’t associated with a service. You can also safely remove the installation media source (the one with a URL prefixed with hd:/?device=). It’s disabled, so shouldn’t cause you any issues, but it’s unlikely that you’d go back to source media with the other repos enabled.

You’ll want to leave the Open H.264 repo alone, since that one’s not duplicated.
