Author of http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::12155 claims following instructions on https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSE_Trinity_Repository_Installation_In structions fail. I responded at http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::12160
I noticed that in my own TDE repos, one is type rpm-md, the other type yum. What exactly are the differences among the possible zypp types? "No manual entry for repos.d". Looking at https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_manual_%28plain%29 the type yum on the instruction page seems maybe not to be a valid type???
I never use the -t option, instead add repos in this way
zypper ar -f -n PrettyName REPO_URL PrettyName
and let the repo provide the type info.
That makes sense, but doesn't really provide the info I need to fix the Wiki instruction that includes the -t option and may be the reason for the problem reported on the TDE mailing list. If "type=yum" is invalid or presents a potential for trouble, I want to say so in an update comment. I don't use ar myself. I copy an existing .repo file free of superfluous characters, spaces, dots and underscores in their names, and sorted within, off the LAN, and tweak if necessary; or, copy an existing .repo file from the repo itself, editing as I do with those on the LAN. e.g. [TDE] autorefresh=0 baseurl=http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity/rpm/opensuse42.3/trinit... enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 name=TDE type=rpm-md -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
