+<h1>Announcing "common" ZYPP repository</h1>
+<p>
+    The community PostgreSQL ZYPP repository does not just include PostgreSQL
+    packages, but also some extensions which depend on a specific PostgreSQL
+    version (e.g. PostGIS.), packages in the PostgreSQL world which can be used
+    against some (or all) PostgreSQL versions,  and the supportive packages for
+    those extensions (e.g. Proj, GeOS).
+</p>
+<p>
+    Until yesterday, all of these packages were contained in the same directory
+    for each OS / PostgreSQL combination. This increased both build time and
+    the disk space required.
+</p>
+<p>
+    So, I decided to merge the “common” packages like Patroni, psycopg, etc.
+    into one single repository.
+</p>
+<p>
+    They are now in the "common" repository:
+<ul>
+    <li>pgdg-common : Includes all of the “common” RPMs. Enabled by default.</li>
+    <li>pgdg-common-testing : testing repo for the common RPMs. Disabled by default, and <span class="pgzypp-warning pgzypp-bold">please do not use it in production.</span></li>
+    <li>pgdg-common-srpms: SRPMs for the packages in the common repo.</li>
+    <li>pgdg-common-srpm-testing: SRPMs for the packages in the common testing repo.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>What to do now?</h2>
+
+<ul>
+        <a href="https://zypp.postgresql.org/news/pgdg-zypp-repo-gpg-key-update/>Follow the instructions</a> 
+	and start using it.
+</ul>
+
+<h2>FAQ</h2>
+<ul>
+    <li>What happens when I don’t update the repo file?<br />&nbsp;
+        <p class="pgzypp-bold">
+            Existing installations will continue running, and you will still
+            receive “non-common” updates, in particular updates to the main
+            PostgreSQL packages. However, new installations will fail when they
+            need the common packages.
+        </p>
+    </li>
+
+    <li>Will you release a separate repo RPM for the common repo?<br />&nbsp;
+        <p class="pgzypp-bold">No. That will cause more issues.</p>
+    </li>
+    <li>Did you really have to do this change?<br />&nbsp;
+        <p class="pgzypp-bold">Yes, as explained above.</p>
+    </li>
+    <li>“Package foobar does not exist in the repos. Did you remove it?”<br />&nbsp;
+        <p class="pgzypp-bold">
+            I moved them to the common repository. Please update the repo file
+            as described above.
+        </p>
+    </li>
+    <li>How can I get more support?<br />&nbsp;
+        <p class="pgzypp-bold">
+            Please send an email to pgsql-pkg-yum@lists.postgresql.org, or
+            submit an issue in the
+            <a href="https://redmine.postgresql.org/projects/pgrpms/issues">
+                community issue tracker</a>
+        </p>
