Hi all,

Such is the value of the openSUSE Build Service from my perspective
that I now have over 40 repositories registered on my main SUSE
machine!  I found that zypper was slightly awkward for managing this
number of repositories, so I found a few hours of spare time to knock
up the following; hope it's of use to somebody.  Patches welcome!

Here is an extract from the documentation for those reading this
offline on their Blackberries :-)

  =head1 NAME

  rypper - extension for managing multiple repositories via zypper

  =head1 SYNOPSIS

    # See complete usage documentation
    rypper --help

    # list all disabled repos
    rypper -d

    # list all enabled repos with autorefresh off
    rypper -e -R

    # list all repos which have anything to do with KDE
    rypper -x kde

    # list priority and URIs for all repos whose alias contains 'home:'
    rypper -a home: l -pu

    # enable autorefresh on all OpenSUSE Build Service repos
    rypper -u download.opensuse.org -R mr -r

    # remove all repos on external USB HDD mounted on /media/disk
    rypper -u /media/disk rr

  =head1 DESCRIPTION

  rypper is a wrapper around zypper for performing repository
  operations in batch.  It allows selection of which
  repositories to operate on via a number of different
  repository selection specifiers.

  The zypper commands which can be wrapped are:

    removerepo, rr          Remove specified repository.
    modifyrepo, mr          Modify specified repository.
    refresh, ref            Refresh all repositories.
    clean                   Clean local caches.

  Additionally, the zypper pseudo-command 'l' can be used to
  list matching repos.  There are a number of options
  controlling the output format; run C<rypper --help> for
  details.

  If no zypper command is provided, it defaults to the 'l'
  pseudo-command, trying to intelligently choose which fields to
  display, e.g. omitting any which were included in the repo
  selection parameters.
