The simplicity of "hacking" repos is one of the advantages of zypp over other package management systems. Example:
-rw-r--r-- 1 246 Nov 16 2016 Update.repo -rw-r--r-- 1 246 Nov 16 2016 Update.repoD -rw-r--r-- 1 254 Nov 16 2016 Update.repo-gwdg -rw-r--r-- 1 244 Nov 16 2016 Update.repoW
Using MC it's a simple enough matter to "cp" Update from download.o.o to widehat.o.o or gwdg when mirrorbrain is suffering brainlock, and back afterward. Same goes for creating, deleting, disabling or enabling any repo. The only files zypp considers relevant are those ending in .repo in /etc/zypp/repos.d/.
I edit the file directly, leaving the old entry commented out.
Those timestamps show me: 1: I created them 2: nothing has modified them since I created them 3: download.o.o is enabled 4: they are 42.2 versions. I edit them once only, after the release date is announced, and host them on the LAN server. Distribution upgrades (e.g. 13.2 to 42.3) are initiated by 'zypper clean' followed by copying the applicable set from the LAN server. Fresh installs get their sets from the LAN on first boot. Switching to another or enabling is simply: Shift-[F3|F5] -> BS -> Enter Disabling is simply: F8 -> DEL -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
