The repository is identified by alias (or by number or URI) in the *repo
commands and --repo options - it is essential.
The text console is somewhat limited when it comes to readability, many users
_complained_ about the URI displayed by default. I would go for -u option to
display URIs as it is not that essential. First you need to know what
repositories you have defined so that you can manipulate them. If you need to
know their exact location for whatever purpose you will invoke zypper repos
with -u or -a.
Well not. Although i agree it's confusing. Maybe we should drop the renamerepo
command and add --alias and --name options to the modifyrepo command.
What would that be good for? What about adding an aption to the repos command
to sort by alias, name and priority, or even URI? IMO adding means to manually
assign unique numbers to the repositories in order to sort them is meaningless.

I am not sure what the alias column is supposed to be good for at all.
The repository is identified by alias (or by number or URI) in the *repo
commands and --repo options - it is essential.
It should not be displayed by default. Instead I would expect the URI to be
displayed as by rug.
The text console is somewhat limited when it comes to readability, many users
_complained_ about the URI displayed by default. I would go for -u option to
display URIs as it is not that essential. First you need to know what
repositories you have defined so that you can manipulate them. If you need to
know their exact location for whatever purpose you will invoke zypper repos
with -u or -a.
Regardless of that re**name** is for sure supposed to change the name not the
alias.
Well not. Although i agree it's confusing. Maybe we should drop the renamerepo
command and add --alias and --name options to the modifyrepo command.
last but not least:
Reordering the repo-list at the zypper commandline as well as for the YaST
user interface (though this is an indpendent issue in regards to renaming) is
for my mind best to be provided by the same command as renaming.
Stating the positional number where the repo should show up in the repo list
is that way the best solution to provide a directive for reordering - simply
put the positional number in place of the name identifier.
What would that be good for? What about adding an aption to the repos command
to sort by alias, name and priority, or even URI? IMO adding means to manually
assign unique numbers to the repositories in order to sort them is meaningless.
