In essence, it's two different ways to do the same thing, with no real
advantage of one over the other I guess.
With the one-click-web-installer, I agree. On the CLI, you'd save a few characters by not typing the full url (but usually, I assume, they're copied and pasted anyway).
This would only be true if the main repository would contain an rpm for any and each 3rd party repository there is, so you could 'enable' that repository using zypper...
Yes, I made that assumption above (and wrote that, too).
for any other repo, you'd have to download the rpm, install it, then install packages from the repository you just enabled like this.
Using zypper, knowing you want to enable the KDE:Foo repo, you wuold just zypper ar obs://KDE:Foo KDE:Foo
Interesting, I didn't know zypper can handle obs://-style URLs. Thank you very much for that insight! I rest my case, I see no real advantage.
