This script checks the availability of the repository URLs for a certain openSUSE Leap version and tries to find the reason why an URL doesn't work as it should, proposing a solution when possible.

The checking tasks are:

• Check the repository URLs for the current openSUSE Leap release;
• check the repository URLs for the next openSUSE Leap release;
• check the repository URLs for the last openSUSE release stable or not;
• check the repository URLs for whatever valid openSUSE release.

Besides that, it is also able to overwrite the repositories to prepare the distro for the next upgrade:

• Upgrade the repository URLs to the next openSUSE Leap release;
• upgrade the repository URLs to the last openSUSE Leap release;
• upgrade the repository to a whatever valid openSUSE release.

Other complementary tasks embedded in this tool provide:

• A repository backup in a compressed tar archive;
• an update of the repositories left behind for a long time;
• the reset of all the current operations;
• the printing of the current status.

Other features:

• ability to create custom scanners for different webpage repositories answers (JSON) with ease;
• ability to read about new releases from an online-served file, without the need to release a new version every time;
• provide a caching mechanism to store the version file.
