Hi all,
Such is the value of the openSUSE Build Service from my perspective
that I now have over 40 repositories registered on my main SUSE
machine! I found that zypper was slightly awkward for managing this
number of repositories, so I found a few hours of spare time to knock
up the following; hope it's of use to somebody. Patches welcome!

rypper is a wrapper around zypper for performing repository
operations in batch. It allows selection of which
repositories to operate on via a number of different
repository selection specifiers.
The zypper commands which can be wrapped are:
removerepo, rr Remove specified repository.
modifyrepo, mr Modify specified repository.
refresh, ref Refresh all repositories.
clean Clean local caches.
Additionally, the zypper pseudo-command 'l' can be used to
list matching repos. There are a number of options
controlling the output format; run C
