[Spacewalk-list] Timeouts with rhnpush and large packages

Hello,

I'm having some difficulty uploading some Matlab RPMs I made to
Spacewalk: rhnpush times out when pushing very large (553Mb in this
case) packages. 

Interestingly it seems that the physical upload of the package file to
/var/satellite succeeds:

[davidn at spacewalk yum] $ find /var/satellite/redhat/1 -iname 'matlab*'
/var/satellite/redhat/1/187/matlab
/var/satellite/redhat/1/187/matlab/7.7-1.el5/x86_64/187b13b86120f2eac40a741e83e8044a/matlab-7.7-1.el5.x86_64.rpm

[davidn at spacewalk yum] $ ls -lh /var/satellite/redhat/1/187/matlab/7.7-1.el5/x86_64/187b13b86120f2eac40a741e83e8044a/matlab-7.7-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 553M Oct 23 12:46 /var/satellite/redhat/1/187/matlab/7.7-1.el5/x86_64/187b13b86120f2eac40a741e83e8044a/matlab-7.7-1.el5.x86_64.rpm

Is it possible to increase the timeout period? My spacewalk server is
hosted on a Xen VM using XVDA disk images; consequently disk IO for
both uploads and DB access is very slow so I may need a longer timeout
than is customary.

Regards,
