Repose reports or modifies the package repositories in one or more refhosts based on installed products (/etc/products.d/), repository configuration (/etc /zypp/repos.d), and user input; commands are sent via ssh.

Three steps are conducted by repose:

1. refhost is queried
2. product info is provided back to repose
3. repose executes zypper commands on refhost
