> oooo - that looks like fun.

This is indeed going to be fun on several fronts... some of it in createrepo and yum which seem to assume int() for size in various places, and some in rpm-python which doesn't deal with signed/unsigned issues either.

And then there's the land beyond 4GB sizes which isn't dealt with at all on the python side of things currently, but that's another (but related) story.
