Once a repo has $releasever in it instead of the version number,
Once! New repos will not have $releasever.
Oh, come on, Carlos. Just change <version number> to $releasever as you are adding the new repo.
I probably will, if I remember. Will everybody?
Get into the habit, and you will remember.
Ibid. And if you add a new repo via "one click" or whatever, just go into Yast (or use sed if you prefer) immediately and make the edit manually.
That is a difficulty and breaks completely the point of using tools like oneclick.
No, it does not. One click is still a useful tool; you simply (optionally, of course) change the repo url if you will be using it going forward, ie. into the next release.
The release version number is in the overwhelming majority of repo urls you will ever encounter. If you leave it alone, you will always need to change it some months away == so why not do it right away as a matter of habit?
I may. I may not remember the exact syntax at that moment and postpone.
Will everybody?
The point is, we have added more work for the admin :-p
I submit it's a lot less work than running sed on the cli with every upgrade, then copying the new file versions over the LAN to a multiplicity of client installations.
