3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * dep cycle basic → udev-retry → auditd → iptables → basic
7 * isolate multi-user.target doesn't start a getty@tty1 if we run it from graphical.target
9 * NFS, networkmanager ordering issue (PENDING)
11 * add fstab fields to add wait timeouts, change Wants to Requires by local-fs.target
13 * hook emergency.target into local-fs.target in some way as OnFailure with isolate
15 * drop SIGHUP handling from rsyslog.service upstream (PENDING)
17 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
19 * save/restore tool for SysV as requested by FPC (PENDING)
21 * bind mounts are ignored
23 * 0595f9a1c182a84581749823ef47c5f292e545f9 is borked, freezes shutdown
24 (path: after installing inotify watches, recheck file again to fix race)
26 * rsyslog.service should hook itself into syslog.target?
28 * syslog.target should be pulled in by multi-user.target?
30 * pull in .service from meta .targers AND vice versa too. i.e. syslog.target ←→ rsyslog.service, rpcbind similarly
32 * document default dependencies
36 * hide passwords on TAB
38 * add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
39 another switch that shows service that have been running since
40 booting but aren't running anymore.
42 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
44 * don't strip facility from kmsg log messages as soon as that is possible.
45 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d90c8d9cde929cbc575098e825d7c29d9f45054
47 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
49 * be more specific what failed:
50 Unmounting file systems.
51 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
53 Detaching loop devices.
55 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
56 Unmounting file systems.
57 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
58 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
60 * check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
61 about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
62 and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"
64 * optionally create watched directories in .path units
66 * Support --test based on current system state
68 * consider services with no [Install] section and stored in /lib enabled by "systemctl is-enabled"
70 * consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled
72 * show failure error string in "systemctl status"
74 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
76 * Maybe implement "systemctl mask" and "systemctl unmask", but not
77 document it? When doing that add switch to make this temporary by
78 placing mask links in /dev.
79 Consider moving the actual fs operations into systemd behind a D-Bus
80 interface, to make namespaces/containers/remote connections work properly.
82 * detect LXC environment
84 * invoke vhangup() before and after invoking getty
85 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c95c985fa91ecf6a0e29622bbdd13dcfc5ce9f1
87 * support "auto" and "comment=systemd.automount" at the same time for an fstab entry
89 * Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
90 (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)
92 * perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"
94 * need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
95 (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab
97 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
99 * figure out what happened to bluez patch
101 * Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it
103 * support remote/ssh systemctl/systemadm, and local privileged access
105 * configurable jitter for timer events
107 * Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon
108 to be killed very late after the rootfs is read only (?)
110 * Integrate "mdadm --wait-clean". Maybe just let SIGTERM to mdmon trigger the
113 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
115 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
116 - check timerfd() patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/23/290
119 - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165
122 - provide CK functionality
123 - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
124 socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
125 start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
126 through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
127 activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
128 getty[1-6] will entirely go away.
129 - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789
131 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
133 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
135 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
139 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
140 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
143 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target
145 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
147 * io priority during initialization
149 * if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
151 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
153 * accountsservice is borked
155 * auditd service files
157 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
159 * suspend, resume support?
161 * readahead: btrfs/LVM SSD detection
163 * add separate man page for [Install] settings
165 * only add quotacheck deps to .mount units which mention grpquota/usrquota in the mount flags
167 * systemctl condrestart should return 0 if service isn't running
169 * allow runtime changing of log level and target
173 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
175 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
177 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
179 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
181 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup.
183 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
184 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpuid-match
185 (Rafael J. Wysocki's sysdev rework is on the way. After that CPUs can be exported a proper bus.)
187 * procps, psmisc, sysvinit-tools, hostname → util-linux-ng

210 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
212 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
214 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
216 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
220 * CFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
