2 * the running hwdb seems not to pick up updated database files without
3 an explicit: udevadm control --reload
5 * enabling an instance unit creates pointless link, and
6 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
7 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
8 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
10 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
12 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
14 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
15 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
16 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
18 * make polkit checks async
20 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
22 * ellipsize_mem must take into account multi-byte unicode characters, and
23 - make the resulting line the requested number of *characters*, not *bytes*,
24 - avoid truncuating multi-byte sequences in the middle.
26 * shorten the message to sane length:
28 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.
32 * external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
35 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
37 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
38 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
40 CGroup Rework Completion:
42 * introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
44 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
46 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
48 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
50 * make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
52 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
54 * wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
58 * better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
60 * rename F_TYPE_CMP() to F_TYPE_EQUAL()
62 * unlink PID files of units after exit
64 * tiny tool that saves/restores backlight
66 * systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
68 * for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
70 * logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
72 * session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
74 * add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
76 * journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
78 * given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
79 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
81 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
83 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
85 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
87 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
89 * 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
91 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
93 * "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
94 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
95 unit however should remove them all).
97 * journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
99 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
101 * do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
103 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
104 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
105 to syslog when it works again.
107 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
109 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
111 * add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
113 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
115 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
117 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
119 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
121 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
123 * libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
124 validity of session name before appending it to a path
126 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
127 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
128 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
129 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
130 check for that and suppress event handling.
132 * when a service changes state make reflect that in the
133 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
135 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
136 the hierarchies of child processes
138 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
140 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
142 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
144 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
146 * change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
147 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
148 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
149 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
151 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
152 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
155 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
156 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
157 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
158 - implement translator service
159 - port systemd to new library
160 - implement busname unit type in systemd
162 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
163 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
164 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
165 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
166 - implement monitor logic
167 - object vtable logic
170 * priority inheritance
172 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
173 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
174 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
176 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
177 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
178 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
181 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
182 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
184 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
186 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
188 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
189 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
191 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
192 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
193 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
196 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
198 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
200 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
202 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
204 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
206 * we need dynamic units
208 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
211 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
212 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
213 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
215 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
217 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
218 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
221 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
222 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
223 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
226 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
228 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
229 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
231 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
233 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
235 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
236 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
237 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
240 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
241 need manual exponential loops after all
243 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
244 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
245 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
246 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
248 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
250 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
251 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
252 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
255 * rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
257 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
259 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
261 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
263 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
265 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
267 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
269 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
271 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
273 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
275 * man: add more examples to man pages
277 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
279 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
281 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
283 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
284 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
285 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
288 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
290 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
292 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
293 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
295 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
296 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
297 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
300 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
302 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
305 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
306 - write man page for efi boot generator
307 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
308 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
309 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
311 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
313 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
315 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
316 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
318 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
320 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
323 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
324 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
325 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
326 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
327 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
328 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
329 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
330 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
331 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
332 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
333 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
335 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
337 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
339 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
342 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
343 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
344 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
345 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
346 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
347 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
348 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
349 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
350 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
351 - journal: reuse XZ context
352 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
353 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
354 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
355 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
356 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
357 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
358 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
359 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
360 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
361 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
362 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
363 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
364 - 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.
365 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
366 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
367 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
368 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
369 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
370 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
371 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
372 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
373 - journalctl: expand tabs
374 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
375 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
376 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
377 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
380 - document unit_name_mangle()
381 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds 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 word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
385 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
386 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
387 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
388 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
391 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
392 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
393 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
394 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
395 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
396 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
397 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
398 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
399 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
400 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
401 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
402 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
403 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
405 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
407 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
410 - configurable jitter for timer events
411 - timer events with system resume
412 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
413 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
415 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
417 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
419 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
420 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
421 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
422 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
423 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
424 user did not request anything like it.
426 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
427 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
428 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
430 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
431 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
432 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
433 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
434 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
435 better supported alternative.
437 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
439 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
441 * 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().
443 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
444 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
448 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
450 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
452 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
454 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
456 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
457 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
458 - superset of tmpfiles model
459 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
460 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
461 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
463 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
464 waiting for the timeout
466 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
468 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
470 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
472 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
475 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
476 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
477 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
478 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
479 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
480 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
481 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
482 interfaces to the container
483 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
484 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
485 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
488 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
489 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
490 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
491 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
493 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
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 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
515 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
517 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
519 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
521 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
523 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
525 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
526 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
527 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
528 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
529 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
530 but much rather a disconnect on success.
532 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
534 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
536 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
538 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
540 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
542 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
545 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
546 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
547 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
548 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
549 - system-wide seccomp filter
551 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
553 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
554 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
556 * introduce Type=pid-file
558 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
560 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
562 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
564 * automount: implement expire:
565 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
566 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
567 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
568 - blocking, needs a thread
570 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
572 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
573 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
575 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
577 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
580 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
582 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
584 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
586 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
588 * 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
590 * support container_ttys=
592 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
594 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
596 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
598 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
600 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
602 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
604 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
606 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
608 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
610 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
612 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
613 needs to be auto-respawned?
615 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
617 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
619 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
621 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
623 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
625 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
626 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
628 * move PAM code into its own binary
630 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
631 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
633 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
635 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
637 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
639 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
640 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
641 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
643 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
644 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
646 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
649 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
650 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
651 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
652 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
653 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
655 * add support for /bin/mount -s
657 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
659 * write blog stories about:
660 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
661 - enabling dbus services
663 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
665 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
666 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
667 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
669 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
670 - the journal HTTP iface
671 - non-cgroup resource management
672 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
673 - refreshed, longer missions statement
674 - calendar time events
675 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
676 - how to create your own target
677 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
678 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
680 * allow port=0 in .socket units
682 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
684 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
686 * Support --test based on current system state
688 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
690 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
692 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
694 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
695 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
699 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
700 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
703 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
705 * io priority during initialization
707 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
710 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
712 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
715 - plot per-process IO utilization
716 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
717 - document initcall_debug
718 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
724 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
725 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
726 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
727 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
728 - always pass cred data along each message
729 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
731 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
733 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
735 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
737 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
738 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
739 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
740 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
743 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
745 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
747 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
749 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
751 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
753 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
755 * 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=
757 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
759 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
761 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
765 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
767 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
769 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
771 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
775 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
777 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
779 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
781 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
783 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
