Description of problem: add this argument to make the connection more controllable Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: for example: virConnectOpenAuth(const char *name, virConnectAuthPtr auth, unsigned int flags, unsigned long timeout) Additional info:
We couldn't add it to the existing API since libvirt doesn't break API. We would need to add some separate way to set a timeout.
I looked at the code and found that the addition of an argument will entail numerous changes. I hope that the addition of an option will not take long.
it's actually more likely that this bug will just sit here indefinitely. filing an RFE doesn't give any guarantee that it will ever be implemented...
