Note

If you get errors from the above command, the upstream repo has a different name than what you defined in our .repo file. Visit the OBS repository to find the correct name and add it to the .repo file.

Replace old release string with release variable

$ sudo sed -i 's/15.4/\$releasever/g' /etc/zypp/repos.d/*
