Note that full support of 4G+ rpms is well known limitation of rpm and it's not one that is simple to fix. We have been working on this for past several months and IIRC the full support is not even in stable upstream release yet. I won't close this bug as wontfix but I certainly don't recommend providing this extension in RHEL7.0. The support for large files is not something we can ever backport to rpm 4.11 (and thus rhel-7) within reason, the related changes are way, way too intrusive. CLOSED DEFERRED, this is rhel-8 material. |
