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 * systemd-notify: fake ucred of msg to PID of parent, if that works, with fallback to our own if it doesn't.
35 * machined: make sure we can restart machined without losing machines
36 * machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
37 * machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
39 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
42 - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
44 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
46 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
48 * add a kernel command line option to enable the debug shell
50 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
52 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
54 * drop parsing of chkconfig header lines from service.c
56 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
58 * 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
60 * Add RPM macros for registering/unregistering binfmt drop-ins
62 * 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
64 * sd-resolve: add callback api
66 * ImmutableSystem=yes/no or so to mount /usr, /boot read-only/invisible, and leave /var and /etc writable
68 * InaccessibleHome=yes/no or so to hide /home and /run/user from a service
70 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode
72 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
74 * add "M" as recursive version of "m" to tmpfiles, then use it for
75 chowning /run/log/journal (but not /var/log/journal), so that we
76 adjust the perms of journal files created before tmpfiles ran.
78 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
80 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
82 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
84 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
87 - Support LUKS for root devices
88 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
89 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
91 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
92 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
93 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
94 the most common operations.
96 * support transient mount units
98 * add an "input" group to udev logic and add all input devices to it
100 * machined: provide calls GetMachineByAddress() on the manager
101 interface to get the machine for a local IP address, and
102 GetAddress() on the Machine interface to get the Address for a
103 machine. Implement via forking off child process which quickly joins
104 the cotnainer and passes data to parent. Show this in "machinectl
105 status", and use it to implement NSS module to provide automatic
106 name resolution for containers.
108 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
109 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
110 when it is otherwise off
112 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
114 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
117 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
118 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
121 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
122 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
123 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
124 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
125 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
127 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
129 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
130 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
131 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
132 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
133 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
134 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
137 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
140 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
141 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
142 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
143 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
144 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
145 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
146 the hierarchies of child processes
149 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
150 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
151 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
153 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
155 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
157 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
159 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
161 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
163 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
165 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
167 * socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
169 * 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
171 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
173 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
174 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
177 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
179 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
180 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
181 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
183 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
185 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
187 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
189 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
191 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
192 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
193 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
194 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
195 check for that and suppress event handling.
197 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
198 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
201 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async
202 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
203 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
204 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
205 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
206 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
207 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
208 - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
209 - .busname units should not use get_user_creds()/get_cgroup_creds() but instead do NSS only in temporarily forked off child
210 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
211 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
212 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
213 - longer term: priority inheritance
216 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
218 - "const" properties (posted)
220 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
221 - test bloom filter generation indexes
222 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
225 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
227 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
228 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
229 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
231 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
233 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
234 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
236 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
238 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
240 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
242 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
244 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
246 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
249 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
250 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
252 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
254 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
255 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
258 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
259 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
260 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
263 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
264 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
266 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
268 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
269 need manual exponential loops after all
271 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
272 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
273 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
276 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
277 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
278 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
281 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
283 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
285 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
287 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
289 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
291 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
293 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
295 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
297 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
299 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
302 - write man page for efi boot generator
303 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
304 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
305 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
307 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
309 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
311 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
312 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
314 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
316 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
319 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
320 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
321 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
322 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
323 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
324 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
325 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
326 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
327 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
328 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
329 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
332 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
334 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
337 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
338 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
339 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
340 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
341 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
342 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
343 - journal: reuse XZ context
344 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
345 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
346 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
347 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
348 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
349 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
350 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
351 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
352 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
353 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
354 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
355 - 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.
356 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
357 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
358 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
359 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
360 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
361 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
362 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
363 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
364 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
365 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
366 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
367 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
368 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
369 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
370 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
371 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
372 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
373 to syslog when it works again.
374 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
375 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
376 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
377 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
378 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
381 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
382 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
383 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
384 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
385 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
386 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
387 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
388 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
389 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
390 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
391 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
392 - man: add more examples to man pages
393 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
396 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
397 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
398 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
399 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
400 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
401 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
402 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
403 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
404 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
405 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
406 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
407 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
408 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
409 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
410 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
411 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
414 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
415 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
416 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
417 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
418 unit however should remove them all).
419 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
420 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
422 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
424 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
427 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
428 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
430 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
431 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
432 - 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
433 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
435 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
437 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
438 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
439 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
440 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
441 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
442 user did not request anything like it.
444 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
445 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
446 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
447 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
448 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
449 better supported alternative.
451 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
453 * 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().
455 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
456 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
459 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
461 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
463 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
465 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
466 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
467 - superset of tmpfiles model
468 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
469 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
470 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
472 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
473 waiting for the timeout
475 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
477 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
480 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
481 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
482 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters
483 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
484 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
485 - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
486 - generate predictable mac addresses for the netdev we create (host0), maybe based on guest's machine
487 name and machine-id of host (?)
490 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
491 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
492 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
493 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
495 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
496 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
498 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
500 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
502 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
503 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
505 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
507 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
509 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
511 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
513 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
515 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
517 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
519 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
521 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
522 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
523 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
524 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
525 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
526 but much rather a disconnect on success.
528 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
530 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
532 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
534 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
536 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
538 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
539 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
541 * introduce Type=pid-file
543 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
545 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
547 * automount: implement expire:
548 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
549 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
550 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
551 - blocking, needs a thread
553 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
555 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
556 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
558 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
561 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
564 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
565 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
567 * 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
569 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
571 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
573 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
575 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
577 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
579 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
581 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
583 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
585 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
586 needs to be auto-respawned?
588 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
591 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
592 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
594 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
596 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
598 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
600 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
601 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
603 * move PAM code into its own binary
605 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
606 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
608 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
610 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
612 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
614 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
615 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
616 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
618 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
620 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
621 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
623 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
626 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
627 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
628 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
629 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
630 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
632 * add support for /bin/mount -s
634 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)

643 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
644 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
646 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
647 - the journal HTTP iface
648 - non-cgroup resource management
649 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
650 - refreshed, longer missions statement
651 - calendar time events
652 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
653 - how to create your own target
654 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
655 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
657 * allow port=0 in .socket units
659 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
661 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
663 * Support --test based on current system state
665 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
667 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
669 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
671 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
673 * io priority during initialization
675 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
678 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
680 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
683 - plot per-process IO utilization
684 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
685 - document initcall_debug
686 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
689 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
690 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
692 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
695 - add support for more attribute types
696 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
699 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
700 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
701 - send hostname to DHCP server
702 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
703 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
704 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
705 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
706 - set lifetime on the address acquired from dhcp
707 - patch kernel to support module alias for tunnel device (ipip/sit/gre),
708 then remove remove libkmod dependency and CAP_SYS_MODULE
709 - add veth netdev support (c.f. http://shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html#veth)
710 - add tun/tap netdev support
711 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
713 * networkd-wait-online:
714 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
717 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
718 - export timezone information
724 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
725 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
727 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
729 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
731 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
733 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
734 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
735 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
736 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
739 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
741 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
743 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
745 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
747 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
749 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
751 * 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=
753 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
755 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
757 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
759 * register catalog database signature as file magic
763 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
765 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
767 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
771 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
773 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
775 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
777 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
779 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
