Hello,
On September 6th, the platform:f28 module was retired [1] because the issue
in MBS described in #1243 [2] was fixed, but due to a miscommunication, MBS
was not updated in Fedora's infrastructure to include the fix. Because of
this, any modules that buildrequire a module that was built on a retired
platform stream but can be installed on any Fedora version, can no longer
build. In practice, this occurs with modules that buildrequire the
"javapackages-tools" module. To see more of the backstory, you can read
#1243 [2].
The purpose of this email is to request a freeze exception to upgrade MBS
from v2.25.0 to v2.27.0.
If this request is denied, I'd like permission to temporarily unretire the
platform:f28 stream in the MBS database as an alternative solution.
However, this alternative solution will cause any modulemd file that
buildrequires all platform streams to trigger a Fedora 28 build which will
fail.
