What happened to my list of repositories on December 7?

English Install/Boot/Login
63

OK, I see now that I considered all those repos which started with repo- as being the repos that are to be installed by the openSUSE-repos package. So there is now a new set with even longer names that point to the same as the “official” ones from openSUSE-repos.

Now I understand even less of them. :frowning:

I give up complet on this. I have the following repos:

And that is it. Will try to keep it at that until I am forced to go to Leap 16.0.

Thanks to all for their contributions.

I will add some additional information regarding the differences. You might find it usefull or not…

I will use the sle-update repo as example and leave all other standard repos out to make it more clear.

The “traditional” repo file looks like this:

/etc/zypp/repos.d/repo-sle-update.repo

Via zypper lr -d it shows up like this:

test@leaptest:/etc/zypp/repos.d> zypper lr -d
#  | Alias                           | Name                                                         | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh | Keep | Priority | Type   | URI                                                                                  | Service

The repo file looks like this when you use the managed set of repos via openSUSE-repos-Leap:

/etc/zypp/repos.d/openSUSE:update-sle.repo

Via zypper lr -d it shows up like this:

test@leaptest:/etc/zypp/repos.d> zypper lr -d
#  | Alias                           | Name                                                         | Enabled | GPG Check | Refresh | Keep | Priority | Type   | URI                                                                                  | Service

The differences are subtle or evident (dependent from the point of view:

  • the managed repos use the cdn.o.o redirector whereas the traditional repos use d.o.o
  • the managed repos are managed by a service
  • the managed repos have a way more on point and shorter name in the zypper lr -d output

When managing yourself, you can of course use whatever you like.

Yes, and I do not like the results.

I think that even my Names are shorter. But more important, my Aliases are shorter. And as those are the main identifications I use (the Numbers being fluent, the Names too long and with to many to be escaped for the shell characters), I prefer short Aliases with no uppercase or to be escaped characters (and of course without having the string “repo” in them as being complete superfluous).

All my personal preferences.

That was my point!

I think they were, just many moons ago, way back around 15.5 GA time, and the reason why when I emptied them and made them immutable was in May 2024.
