3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * isolate multi-user.target doesn't start a getty@tty1 if we run it from graphical.target
7 * NFS, networkmanager ordering issue (PENDING)
9 * add fstab fields to add wait timeouts, change Wants to Requires by local-fs.target
11 * hook emergency.target into local-fs.target in some way as OnFailure with isolate
13 * bind mounts are ignored
15 * 0595f9a1c182a84581749823ef47c5f292e545f9 is borked, freezes shutdown
16 (path: after installing inotify watches, recheck file again to fix race)
18 * NM should pull in network.target, ntpd should pull in rtc-set.target.
20 * bluetooth should be possible to disable
22 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
24 * don't trim empty cgroups
25 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678555
27 * reload-or-try-restart man page uses word "fail"
29 * Move units from lib64 to lib
33 * write blog stories about:
34 - chroot, nspawn and friends
35 - the blame game: systemd-analyze
36 - enabling dbus services
39 * allow port = 0 in .socket units
41 * rename systemd-logger to systemd-stdio-syslog-bridge
43 * introduce /usr/lib/binfmt.d/, /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/
45 * in pam_systemd: don't rely on /proc/self/loginuid in a container
47 * take BSD file lock on tty devices when using them?
49 * tmpfiles should allow two identical lines
50 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690253
52 * avoid any flag files, or readahead files in /, we need to support r/o /
53 or / on tmpfs like Android setups.
55 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
57 * get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H
59 * document default dependencies
61 * support systemd.whitelist=/systemd.blacklist= on the kernel command
64 * Find a way to replace /var/run, /var/lock directories with
65 symlinks during an RPM package upgrade (filesystem.rpm or systemd.rpm).
66 We soon want to get rid of var-run.mount var-lock.mount units.
68 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
70 * get rid of random file name in generator directory?
71 /run/systemd/generator-IH1vFu
73 * fix SD_WARNING syslog stuff in src/sd-daemon.h to include the
74 LOG_DAEMON(3) facility value. Never use the LOG_KERNEL(0) facility.
76 * add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
77 another switch that shows service that have been running since
78 booting but aren't running anymore.
80 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
82 * don't strip facility from kmsg log messages as soon as that is possible:
83 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d90c8d9cde929cbc575098e825d7c29d9f45054
85 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
87 * be more specific what failed:
89 Unmounting file systems.
90 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
92 Detaching loop devices.
94 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
95 Unmounting file systems.
96 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
97 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
100 * check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
101 about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
102 and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"
104 * optionally create watched directories in .path units
106 * Support --test based on current system state
108 * consider services with no [Install] section and stored in /lib enabled by "systemctl is-enabled"
110 * consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled
112 * show failure error string in "systemctl status"
114 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
116 * Maybe implement "systemctl mask" and "systemctl unmask", but not
117 document it? When doing that add switch to make this temporary by
118 placing mask links in /dev.
119 Consider moving the actual fs operations into systemd behind a D-Bus
120 interface, to make namespaces/containers/remote connections work properly.
122 * detect LXC environment
124 * invoke vhangup() before and after invoking getty
125 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c95c985fa91ecf6a0e29622bbdd13dcfc5ce9f1
127 * support "auto" and "comment=systemd.automount" at the same time for an fstab entry
129 * Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
130 (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)
132 * perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"
134 * need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
135 (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab
137 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
139 * figure out what happened to bluez patch
141 * Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it
143 * support remote/ssh systemctl/systemadm, and local privileged access → dbus patches need to be merged
145 * configurable jitter for timer events
147 * Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon
148 to be killed very late after the rootfs is read only (?)
150 * Integrate "mdadm --wait-clean". Maybe just let SIGTERM to mdmon trigger the
153 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
155 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
156 - check timerfd() patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/23/290
159 - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165
162 - provide CK functionality
163 - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
164 socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
165 start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
166 through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
167 activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
168 getty[1-6] will entirely go away.
169 - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789
171 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
173 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
175 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
179 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
180 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
183 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
185 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
187 * io priority during initialization
189 * if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
191 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
193 * accountsservice is borked
195 * auditd service files
197 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
199 * suspend, resume support?
201 * readahead: btrfs/LVM SSD detection
203 * add separate man page for [Install] settings
205 * allow runtime changing of log level and target
209 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
211 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
213 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
215 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
217 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup.
219 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
220 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpuid-match
221 (Rafael J. Wysocki's sysdev rework is on the way. After that CPUs can be exported a proper bus.)
223 * procps, psmisc, sysvinit-tools, hostname → util-linux-ng

246 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
248 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
250 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
252 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
256 * CFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
