Why don't you use zypper for managing repositories?
No, I mean. Zypper seems to always update its (or tries to update its) repositories whenever you start it.

No, man pages have always been structured like this. Books are quite different. What you seem to want is a quick reference guide, a cheat sheet. I collect cheat sheets and have them bound into a book :-) I googled for that and LO! on the first two entries at https://www.google.com/search?q=zypper+cheat+sheet&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 I found https://en.opensuse.org/images/1/17/Zypper-cheat-sheet-1.pdf and https://en.opensuse.org/images/3/30/Zypper-cheat-sheet-2.pdf So what's up?
