Configure the openSUSE repository mirror

1. Create an RPM remote repository “repomirror” with the below URL,
http://download.opensuse.org/



2. Configure the zypper repository configuration file with the baseurl having the respective <PATH_TO_REPODATA_FOLDER>

baseurl=http://admin:<encoded_password>@<ARTIFACTORY_HOST/artifactory/<reponame>/<PATH_TO_REPODATA_FOLDER>

For example, if you want to create a repository for openSUSE Backports update, you can use the following configuration.

File: /etc/zypp/repos.d/repo-backports-update.repo

[repo-backports-update]
name=Update repository of openSUSE Backports
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
baseurl=http://admin:<encoded_password>@localhost/artifactory/repomirror/update/leap/$releasever/backports/
path=/
type=rpm-md
keeppackages=0

Note: If you have anonymous access enabled, you do not need to use the user credentials in the configuration


3. Run below commands to get latest metadata and verify that repository is listed

zypper ref
zypper lr

4. Install or update a sample package

zypper install pngcheck

5. You will be able to find it cached in the remote repo cache.
