+==========================

+
+
+NAME
+----
+cdist-type__zypper_repo - repository management with zypper
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+zypper is usually used on the SuSE distribution to manage repositories.
+
+
+REQUIRED PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+None
+
+
+OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
+-------------------
+state::
+    Either "present" or "absent" or "enabled" or "disabled", defaults to "present" + 
+    #present#  - make sure that the repo is aviable, needs repo_uri and repo_desc + 
+         for all following states, the repo can be searched via repo_id or repo_uri + 
+    #absent#   - drop the repo if found + 
+    #enabled#  - a repo can have state disabled if installed via zypper service (ris), in this case, you can enable the repo + 
+    #disabled# - instead of absent (drop), a repo can also set to disabled, wich makes it inaccessible + 
+
+repo_uri::
+    If supplied, use the uri and not the object id as repo uri.
+
+repo_desc::
+    If supplied, use the description and not the object id as repo description, only used if the state is present and the repo has to be created
+
+repo_id::
+    If supplied, use the id and not the object id as repo id, can be used with state absent, enabled and disabled
+
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Ensure testrepo in installed
+__zypper_repo testrepo --state present --repo_uri http://url.to.your.repo/with/path
+
+# Drop repo by repo uri
+__zypper_repo testrepo --state absent --repo_uri http://url.to.your.repo/with/path
+
+# Drop repo by id number (attention: repos are always numbered from 1 to max)
+__zypper_repo testrepo --state absent --repo_id 1
+
+# enable repo by id
+__zypper_repo testrepo2 --state enabled --repo_id 2
+
+# enable repo by uri
+__zypper_repo testrepo3 --state enabled --repo_uri http://url.to.your.repo/with/path
+
+# disable a repo works like enabling it
+__zypper_repo testrepo4 --state disabled --repo_id 4
