2 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
4 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
5 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
6 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
7 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
9 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
10 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
11 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
13 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
15 * shorten the message to sane length:
17 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
19 * sd_bus_unref() is broken regarding self-references and "pseudo thread-safety".
20 See the comment in sd_bus_unref() for more..
24 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
25 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
27 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
29 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
33 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
36 - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
37 - hookup with networkd: listen to online/offline state
38 - run as unpriviliged user
40 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
42 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
44 * add a kernel command line option to enable the debug shell
46 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
48 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
50 * drop parsing of chkconfig header lines from service.c
52 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
54 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle. Alternatively, split up the boot-up state into two, and make Type=idle only be affected by jobs for the default target, but ignore any further jobs
56 * Add RPM macros for registering/unregistering binfmt drop-ins
58 * Add timeout to early-boot, and shut down the system if it is hit. Solves the laptop-in-bag problem and is useful for embedded cases
60 * sd-resolve: add callback api
62 * ImmutableSystem=yes/no or so to mount /usr, /boot read-only/invisible, and leave /var and /etc writable
64 * InaccessibleHome=yes/no or so to hide /home and /run/user from a service
66 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode
68 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
70 * add "M" as recursive version of "m" to tmpfiles, then use it for
71 chowning /run/log/journal (but not /var/log/journal), so that we
72 adjust the perms of journal files created before tmpfiles ran.
74 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
76 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
78 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
80 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
83 - Support LUKS for root devices
84 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
85 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
87 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
88 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
89 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
90 the most common operations.
92 * support transient mount units
94 * add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
96 * machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
97 interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
98 GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
99 machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
100 the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
101 status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
102 name resolution for containers.
104 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
105 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
106 when it is otherwise off
108 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
110 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
113 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
114 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
117 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
118 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
119 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
120 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
121 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
123 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
125 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
126 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
127 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
128 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
129 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
130 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
133 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
136 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
137 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
138 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
139 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
140 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
141 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
142 the hierarchies of child processes
145 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
146 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
147 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
149 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
151 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
153 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
155 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
157 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
159 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
161 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
163 * socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
165 * rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
167 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
169 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
170 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
173 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
175 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
176 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
177 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
179 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
181 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
183 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
185 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
187 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
188 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
189 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
190 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
191 check for that and suppress event handling.
193 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
194 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
197 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async
198 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
199 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
200 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
201 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
202 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
203 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
204 - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
205 - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
206 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
207 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
208 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
209 - longer term: priority inheritance
212 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
214 - "const" properties (posted)
216 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
217 - test bloom filter generation indexes
218 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
221 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
223 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
224 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
225 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
227 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
229 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
230 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
232 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
234 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
236 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
238 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
240 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
242 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
245 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
246 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
248 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
250 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
251 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
254 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
255 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
256 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
259 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
260 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
262 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
264 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
265 need manual exponential loops after all
267 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
268 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
269 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
272 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
273 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
274 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
277 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
279 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
281 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
283 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
285 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
287 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
289 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
291 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
293 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
295 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
298 - write man page for efi boot generator
299 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
300 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
301 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
303 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
305 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
307 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
308 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
310 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
312 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
315 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
316 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
317 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
318 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
319 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
320 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
321 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
322 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
323 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
324 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
325 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
328 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
330 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
333 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
334 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
335 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
336 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
337 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
338 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
339 - journal: reuse XZ context
340 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
341 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
342 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
343 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
344 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
345 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
346 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
347 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
348 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
349 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
350 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
351 - journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
352 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
353 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
354 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
355 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
356 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
357 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
358 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
359 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
360 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
361 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
362 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
363 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
364 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
365 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
366 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
367 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
368 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
369 to syslog when it works again.
370 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
371 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
372 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
373 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
374 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
377 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
378 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
379 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
380 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
381 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
382 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
383 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
384 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
385 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
386 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
387 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
388 - man: add more examples to man pages
389 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
392 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
393 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
394 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
395 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
396 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
397 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
398 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
399 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
400 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
401 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
402 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
403 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
404 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
405 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
406 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
407 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
410 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
411 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
412 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
413 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
414 unit however should remove them all).
415 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
416 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
418 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
420 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
423 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
424 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
426 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
427 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
428 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
429 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
431 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
433 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
434 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
435 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
436 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
437 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
438 user did not request anything like it.
440 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
441 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
442 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
443 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
444 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
445 better supported alternative.
447 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
449 * If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
451 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
452 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
455 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
457 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
459 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
461 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
462 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
463 - superset of tmpfiles model
464 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
465 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
466 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
468 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
469 waiting for the timeout
471 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
473 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
476 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
477 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
478 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
479 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
480 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
481 - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
482 - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
483 name and machine-id of host (?)
486 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
487 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
488 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
489 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
491 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
492 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
494 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
496 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
498 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
499 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
501 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
503 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
505 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
507 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
509 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
511 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
513 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
515 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
517 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
518 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
519 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
520 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
521 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
522 but much rather a disconnect on success.
524 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
526 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
528 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
530 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
532 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
534 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
535 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
537 * introduce Type=pid-file
539 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
541 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
543 * automount: implement expire:
544 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
545 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
546 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
547 - blocking, needs a thread
549 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
551 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
552 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
554 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
557 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
560 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
561 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
563 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
565 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
567 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
569 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
571 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
573 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
575 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
577 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
579 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
581 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
582 needs to be auto-respawned?
584 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
587 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
588 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
590 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
592 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
594 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
596 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
597 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
599 * move PAM code into its own binary
601 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
602 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
604 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
606 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
608 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
610 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
611 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
612 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
614 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
616 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
617 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
619 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
622 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
623 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
624 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
625 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
626 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
628 * add support for /bin/mount -s
630 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
632 * write blog stories about:
633 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
634 - enabling dbus services
636 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
638 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
639 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
640 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
642 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
643 - the journal HTTP iface
644 - non-cgroup resource management
645 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
646 - refreshed, longer missions statement
647 - calendar time events
648 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
649 - how to create your own target
650 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
651 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
653 * allow port=0 in .socket units
655 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
657 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
659 * Support --test based on current system state
661 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
663 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
665 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
667 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
669 * io priority during initialization
671 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
674 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
676 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
679 - plot per-process IO utilization
680 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
681 - document initcall_debug
682 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
685 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
686 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
688 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
691 - add support for more attribute types
692 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
695 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
696 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
697 - send hostname to DHCP server
698 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
699 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
700 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
701 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
702 - set lifetime on the address acquired from dhcp
703 - patch kernel to support module alias for tunnel device (ipip/sit/gre),
704 then remove remove libkmod dependency and CAP_SYS_MODULE
705 - add veth netdev support (c.f. http://shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html#veth)
706 - add tun/tap netdev support
709 - export timezone information
715 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
716 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
718 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
720 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
722 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
724 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
725 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
726 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
727 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
730 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
732 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
734 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
736 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
738 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
740 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
742 * fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
744 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
746 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
748 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
750 * register catalog database signature as file magic
754 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
756 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
758 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
762 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
764 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
766 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
768 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
770 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
