Zypper-Upgraderepo helps to check and upgrade the repositories used in your system for the current, next or a custom valid version, reporting the errors and trying to find a replacement when possible.
It can be also be installed as Zypper plugin using the Zypper Upgraderepo Plugin.
There are a couple of options to install this application.
Install it as a regular Ruby gem with:
$ gem install zypper-upgraderepoThis application has been packaged in my personal OBS repository so you can install It as a common RPM package:
- Add the repository URL in your list;
- install the package from Yast or Zypper.
Being the repository URL slightly changing from a version to another, I included all the steps in the related project page at my blog.
Warning!!! The executables name prior the 1.8.0 version is zypper-upgraderepo, unfortunately the RPM package installation introduces annoying copies of the same executable having a version appended (zypper-upgraderepo.version, zypper-upgraderepo.rubyversion, zypper-upgraderepo.rubyversion.version) interpreted by zypper itself as different subcommands. So I considered more convenient to remove the zypper prefix from the original executable and let the sole zypper-upgraderepo-plugin package install it as a zypper plugin.
To check the availability of the current repositories:
$ upgraderepoTo check the availability of the next version repositories:
