sentence is hard to comprehend:<br>

"""Variables are e.g. useful for related repositories like packman<br>
(<a href="http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/$releasever" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/packman/suse/$releasever</a>), which shall<br>
always fit the installed distribution, even after a distribution<br>
upgrade. To help performing a distribution upgrade, the value of<br>
$releasever can be overwritten in zypper using the --releasever global<br>
option. This way you can easily switch all repositories using<br>
$releasever to the new version (provided the server layouts did not<br>
change and new repos are already available)."""<br>
<br>
What do they mean by related repository? What's an installed distribution?<br>
I can make some sense of it, but a quick layman's explanation would<br>
have been better than reading through webpages trying to decipher<br>
technical terms. Which is the very reason why I asked here to get<br>
guided assistance.<br>
The 2nd link (forum) is not needed. SLES, which I didn't understand<br>
was mentioned in the installation guide, which is why reading the<br>
installation guide's website just adds more confusing terms. I don't<br>
need to browse the web just to understand a single term. This is time<br>
consuming if there are a lot of terms I don't understand. You've<br>
already provided 3 links, how many more do I need for such a simple<br>
task?<br>
I'm not begging for your help so don't worry about it, I'll try asking AI.<br>
Later.<br>
