okay. This isn't yum but a python-urlgrabber 'bug'. urlgrabber switched to using tempfiles for urlopen() calls - but I had forgotten how often yum does that for parsing the repo files. So i've reverted that one in particular and am going back to storing the files in memory. Not b/c of the mess of putting tmpfiles on the system but b/c it will be constantly writing tiny files that then immediately get discarded. so this is reassigned to python-urlgrabber and closed upstream. I'll make a new release of it shortly. thanks
