The repository structure has been simplified to a single repo that integrates community and SLES packages. Significant changes include discontinuation of 32-bit support, necessitating workarounds for compatibility, and the complete removal of YaST packages in favor of the Myrlyn package. Transition to Git from legacy OBS SCM is also noted.
