No, the full name and alias are needed. For what exactly? I can't think of a single example where a standard name or alias does not replicate a sufficient portion of the URI that the name or alias is no more than bloat.
I have seen occasions where the name is wrong, and the name is how the user knows each repo. The alias is used to name the directories used in the local cache.
How often in the name or alias exists anything that isn't evident from the URI, particularly when the information needed is whether a TW repo has been 1-clicked into a Leap installation, or the wrong version of a repo is enabled (e.g. 15.2 mixed with 15.3)?
Depends on each case. I do want the full information for diagnosis. In fact, there are missing fields. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
