But using Yast doesn't require one to remember what for most people is an obscure command with a difficult syntax, nor where the repo files are stored :D
Using yast means you have to edit them every year, as compared to one per lifetime in CLI - as long as you never edit them in YaST.
But new repositories will be wrong.
What on earth are you talking about?
Once a repo has $releasever in it instead of the version number,
Once! New repos will not have $releasever.
it never needs to be edited again. It does not matter how that edit is done. I have no idea what you mean by new repositories being wrong. If they are wrong, then whoever added them to the system made a mistake.
When we create a new repo with YaST, it will not have $releasever because the actual URL we copy paste doesn't have it. Unless we are aware at that moment in time, months away from updating, that we should change the name with $releasever. Notice that repos can also be automaticall be added by tools like "one click" or "opi", and I guess those tools do not write them with $releasever. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
