2 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
7 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
11 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
13 * shorten the message to sane length:
15 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.
17 * systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
21 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
22 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
30 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
32 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
34 * maybe add DefaultTimerAccuracySec= as global config option to set AccuracySec='s default value in .timer units
36 * mount /sys/fs/cgroup read-only (but leave the subdirs writable)
39 - Support LUKS for root devices
40 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
41 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
43 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
44 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
45 don't have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
46 the most common operations.
48 * support transient mount units
50 * Imply DevicePolicy=closed when PrivateDevices= is used
52 * add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
54 * libsystemd-login: implement getpeer_unit(), get_peer_slice(), ...
56 * machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
57 interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
58 GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
59 machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
60 the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
61 status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
62 name resolution for containers.
64 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
65 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
66 when it is otherwise off
68 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
70 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
73 * systemctl (and possibly related tools): support a new switch that
74 allows enumerating units in local containers recursively. "systemctl
75 list-units -R" or so should not only lists on the host, but also the
76 services in all containers in a pretty way, to give an overview of
79 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
80 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
83 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
84 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
85 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
86 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
87 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
89 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
91 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
92 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
93 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
94 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
95 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
96 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
99 - busctl zsh completion is outdated
100 - systemd-nspawn -Z/-L/-q is missing for zsh
101 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
104 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
105 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
106 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
107 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
108 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
109 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
110 the hierarchies of child processes
113 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
114 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
115 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
117 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
119 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
121 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
123 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
125 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
127 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
129 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
131 * socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
133 * 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
135 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
137 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
138 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
141 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
143 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
144 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
145 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
147 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
149 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
151 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
153 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
155 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
156 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
157 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
158 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
159 check for that and suppress event handling.
161 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
162 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
165 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
166 - implement monitor logic
167 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
168 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
169 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
170 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
171 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
172 - longer term: priority inheritance
173 - check sender of response messages
176 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
178 - "const" properties (posted)
180 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
181 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
182 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
183 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
184 - test bloom filter generation indexes
185 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
186 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
187 - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
188 - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
191 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
193 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
194 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
195 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
197 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
199 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
200 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
202 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
204 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
206 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
208 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
210 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
212 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
215 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
216 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
218 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
220 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
221 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
224 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
225 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
226 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
229 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
230 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
232 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
234 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
235 need manual exponential loops after all
237 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
238 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
239 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
240 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
242 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
243 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
244 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
247 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
249 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
251 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
253 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
255 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
257 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
259 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
261 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
263 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
265 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
268 - write man page for efi boot generator
269 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
270 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
271 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
273 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
275 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
277 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
278 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
280 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
282 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
285 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
286 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
287 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
288 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
289 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
290 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
291 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
292 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
293 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
294 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
295 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
296 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
299 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
301 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
304 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
305 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
306 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
307 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
308 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
309 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
310 - journal: reuse XZ context
311 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
312 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
313 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
314 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
315 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
316 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
317 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
318 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
319 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
320 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
321 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
322 - 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.
323 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
324 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
325 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
326 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
327 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
328 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
329 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
330 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
331 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
332 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
333 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
334 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
335 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
336 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
337 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
338 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
339 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
340 to syslog when it works again.
341 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
342 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
343 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
344 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
345 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
348 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
349 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
350 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
351 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
352 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
353 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
354 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
355 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
356 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
357 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
358 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
359 - man: add more examples to man pages
360 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
363 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
364 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
365 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
366 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
367 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
368 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
369 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
370 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
371 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
372 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
373 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
374 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
375 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
376 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
377 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
378 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
379 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
382 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
383 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
384 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
385 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
386 unit however should remove them all).
387 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
388 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
390 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
392 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
395 - timer events with system resume
396 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
397 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
399 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
400 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
401 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
402 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
403 - anacron-like feature
405 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
407 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
408 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
409 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
410 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
411 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
412 user did not request anything like it.
414 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
415 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
416 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
417 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
418 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
419 better supported alternative.
421 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
423 * 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().
425 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
426 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
429 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
431 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
433 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
435 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
436 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
437 - superset of tmpfiles model
438 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
439 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
440 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
442 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
443 waiting for the timeout
445 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
447 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
450 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
451 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
452 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
453 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
454 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
455 - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
456 - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
457 name and machine-id of host (?)
460 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
461 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
462 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
463 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
465 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
466 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
468 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
470 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
472 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
473 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
475 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
477 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
479 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
481 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
483 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
485 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
487 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
489 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
491 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
492 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
493 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
494 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
495 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
496 but much rather a disconnect on success.
498 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
500 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
502 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
504 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
506 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
508 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
509 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
511 * introduce Type=pid-file
513 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
515 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
517 * automount: implement expire:
518 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
519 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
520 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
521 - blocking, needs a thread
523 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
525 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
526 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
528 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
531 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
534 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
535 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
537 * 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
539 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
541 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
543 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
545 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
547 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
549 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
551 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
553 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
555 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
556 needs to be auto-respawned?
558 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
561 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
562 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
564 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
566 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
568 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
570 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
571 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
573 * move PAM code into its own binary
575 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
576 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
578 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
580 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
582 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
584 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
585 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
586 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
588 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
590 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
591 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
593 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
596 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
597 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
598 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
599 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
600 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
602 * add support for /bin/mount -s
604 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
606 * write blog stories about:
607 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
608 - enabling dbus services
610 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
612 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
613 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
614 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
616 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
617 - the journal HTTP iface
618 - non-cgroup resource management
619 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
620 - refreshed, longer missions statement
621 - calendar time events
622 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
623 - how to create your own target
624 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
625 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
627 * allow port=0 in .socket units
629 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
631 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
633 * Support --test based on current system state
635 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
637 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
639 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
641 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
643 * io priority during initialization
645 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
648 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
650 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
653 - plot per-process IO utilization
654 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
655 - document initcall_debug
656 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
659 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
660 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
664 - add support for exiting containers without reading them fully first
665 - add support for more attribute types
668 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
669 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
670 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
671 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
672 - add IPv4LL tests (inspire by DHCP)
673 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
674 - change LL address generation and make it predictable like get_mac() (link-config.c)
675 - have smooth transition from LL to routable address, without disconnecting clients.
680 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
681 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
683 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
685 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
687 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
689 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
690 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
691 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
692 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
695 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
697 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
699 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
701 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
703 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
705 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
707 * 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=
709 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
711 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
713 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
717 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
719 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
721 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
725 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
727 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
729 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
731 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
733 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
