Comment (by pghmcfc):

 New problem: the builds for these packages are now ready to be pushed to
 stable, but when I try to mark them as stable, I get this:
 {{{
   Broken update path: perl-Class-Accessor-0.31-6.1.el6 is already
 released, and is newer than perl-Class-Accessor-0.31-0.6.1.el6
 }}}
 There was previously a `perl-Class-Accessor-0.31-6.1.el6` package in
 EPEL-6 but that was retired because the package was in RHEL-6. However,
 it's not available on all architectures, so I followed the EPEL guidelines
 and created a clone of the RHEL package but with a "0." release prefix to
 provide the package on ppc64. It looks now that the existence of the
 original (retired) EPEL package is blocking this new one (same for `perl-
 Class-Data-Inheritable`); what can be done about that?
