How is it obtuse?
Does it mean that type=rpm-md and type=yum are both valid?
Yes.
What distinguishes a yast2 repo from an rpm-md repo?
Yast2 is SUSE's own format for the metadata and config files in a repository. Detailed info: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Standards_YaST2_Repository_Metadata RPM-MD is a Red Hat format. Some detailed info is here: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Standards_Rpm_Metadata Additional info: https://blog.felipe-alfaro.com/2006/06/06/package-management-repositories-me...
Also, is it valid to omit a type?
