Temporary workaround is to add

Replying to [ticket:4729 puiterwijk]:

At times, bodhi is too slow with returning the list of all updates, resulting in a timeout for fedora-easy-karma.

We should look at improving database performance, or whether we need to increase the timeout.

If the timeout needs to be increased, this should IMHO happen in python-fedora, so every bodhi client benefits from this. There is also the GUI tool for f-e-k, which might benefit from this as well.

I think we should just solve the performance issues.

Increashing the timeout is IMHO just a temporary workaround.

I got hit by this earlier with "bodhi -o".

This was caused by a bot that hit us with an excessive amount of requests.

This should now no longer be happening.
