zypper repos -d
9.1.4.1 Adding Repositories
To add a repository, run
zypper addrepo
URIalias
URI
can either be an Internet repository, a network resource, a directory or a CD or
DVD (see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Libzypp_URIs for details). The
alias
is
a shorthand and unique identier of the repository. You can freely choose it, with
the only exception that is has to be unique. Zypper will issue a warning if you specify
an alias that is already in use.
9.1.4.2 Removing Repositories
If you want to remove a repository from the list, use the command zypper removerepo
together with the alias or number of the repository you want to delete. For example,
to remove the repository listed as third entry in Example 9.1, “Zypper—List of Known
Repositories” (page 117), use the following command:
zypper removerepo 3
9.1.4.3 Modifying Repositories
Enable or disable repositories with zypper modifyrepo. You can also alter the repos-
itory's properties (such as refreshing behavior, name or priority) with this command.
The following command will enable the repository named updates, turn on auto-refresh
and set its priority to 20:
zypper modifyrepo -er -p 20 'updates'
Modifying repositories is not limited to a single repository—you can also operate on
groups:
-a: all repositories
-l: local repositories
-t: remote repositories
-m
TYPE
: repositories of a certain type (where
TYPE
can be one of the following: http,
https, ftp, cd, dvd, dir, file, cifs, smb, nfs, hd, iso)
To rename a repository alias, use the renamerepo command. The following example
changes the alias from Mozilla Firefox to just firefox:
zypper renamerepo 'Mozilla Firefox' firefox
9.1.5 Querying Repositories and Packages with Zypper
Zypper oers various methods to query repositories or packages. To get lists of all
