2 * Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
3 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
5 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .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.
14 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
15 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
17 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
19 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
21 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
23 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
27 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
29 * the resolv.conf tmpfiles line should be covered by ENABLE_NETWORKD...
32 - also create entries in /etc/shadow, /etc/gshadow
33 - allow setting the home directory of system users
35 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
37 * order OnCalendar timer units after timer-sync.target if DefaultDependencies=no so that we don't trigger them prematurely
39 * refuse mounting on symlinks
41 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
43 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
45 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
46 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
47 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
48 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
50 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
52 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
54 * machined/machinectl: sort IP addresses we return by scope and protocol
55 * machined: write NSS module for looking up IP addresses for machines
57 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
59 * timesyncd - hookup with networkd: NTP servers from dhcp
61 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
63 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
65 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
67 * set NOTIFY_SOCKET also for control processes
69 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
71 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
72 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
74 * 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
76 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
78 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
80 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
82 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
84 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
86 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
89 - Support LUKS for root devices
90 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
91 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
93 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
94 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
95 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
96 the most common operations.
98 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
99 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
100 when it is otherwise off
102 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
104 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
107 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
108 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
111 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
112 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
113 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
114 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
115 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
117 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
119 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
120 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
121 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
122 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
123 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
124 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
127 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
130 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
131 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
132 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
133 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
134 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
135 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
136 the hierarchies of child processes
139 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
140 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
141 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
143 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
145 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
147 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
149 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
151 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
153 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
155 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
157 * 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
159 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
161 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
162 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
165 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
167 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
168 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
169 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
171 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
173 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
175 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
177 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
179 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
180 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
183 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
184 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
185 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
186 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
187 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
188 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
189 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
190 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
191 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
192 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
193 - longer term: priority inheritance
196 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
198 - "const" properties (posted)
200 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
201 - test bloom filter generation indexes
204 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
206 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
207 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
208 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
210 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
212 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
213 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
215 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
217 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
219 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
221 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
223 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
225 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
228 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
229 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
231 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
232 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
233 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
236 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
237 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
239 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
241 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
242 need manual exponential loops after all
244 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
245 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
246 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
249 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
250 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
251 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
254 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
256 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
258 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
260 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
262 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
264 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
266 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
268 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
270 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
273 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
274 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
275 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
277 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
279 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
281 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
282 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
284 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
286 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
289 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
290 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
291 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
292 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
293 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
294 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
295 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
296 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
297 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
298 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
299 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
302 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
304 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
307 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
308 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
309 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
310 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
311 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
312 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
313 - journal: reuse XZ context
314 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
315 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
316 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
317 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
318 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
319 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
320 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
321 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
322 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
323 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
324 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
325 - 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.
326 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
327 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
328 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
329 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
330 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
331 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
332 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
333 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
334 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
335 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
336 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
337 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
338 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
339 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
340 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
341 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
342 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
343 to syslog when it works again.
344 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
345 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
346 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
347 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
348 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
351 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
352 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
353 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
354 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
355 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
356 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
357 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
358 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
359 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
360 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
361 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
362 - man: add more examples to man pages
363 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
366 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
367 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
368 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
369 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
370 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
371 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
372 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
373 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
374 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
375 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
376 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
377 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
378 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
379 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
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 list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
385 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
388 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
389 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
391 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
392 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
393 - 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
394 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
396 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
398 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
399 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
400 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
401 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
402 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
403 user did not request anything like it.
405 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
407 * 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().
409 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
410 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
413 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
415 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
417 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
418 waiting for the timeout
420 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
422 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
425 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
426 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
427 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
430 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
431 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
432 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
433 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
435 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
436 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
438 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
440 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
442 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
444 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
446 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
448 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
450 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
452 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
453 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
454 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
455 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
456 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
457 but much rather a disconnect on success.
459 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
461 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
463 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
465 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
467 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
469 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
470 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
472 * introduce Type=pid-file
474 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
476 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
478 * automount: implement expire:
479 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
480 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
481 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
482 - blocking, needs a thread
484 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
486 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
487 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
489 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
492 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
495 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
496 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
498 * 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
500 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
502 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
504 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
506 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
508 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
510 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
512 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
514 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
515 needs to be auto-respawned?
517 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
520 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
522 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
524 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
526 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
528 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
529 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
531 * move PAM code into its own binary
533 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
534 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
536 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
538 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
540 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
542 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
543 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
544 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
546 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
547 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
549 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
552 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
553 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
554 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO

578 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
579 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
581 * allow port=0 in .socket units
583 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
585 * Support --test based on current system state
587 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
589 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
591 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
593 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
595 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
598 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
600 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
603 - plot per-process IO utilization
604 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
605 - document initcall_debug
606 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
609 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
610 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
612 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
615 - add support for more attribute types
616 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
619 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
620 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
621 - send hostname to DHCP server
622 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
623 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
624 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
625 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
626 - add veth netdev support (c.f. http://shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html#veth)
627 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
628 - make metric of routes configurable
629 - work with non-ethernet devices
630 - add support for more bond options
632 * networkd-wait-online:
633 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
636 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
637 - export timezone information
641 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
642 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
643 - write more test cases
644 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
645 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
646 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
647 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
648 - implement elapsed time option
649 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
650 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
651 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
653 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
659 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
660 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
662 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
664 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
666 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
668 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
670 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
672 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
674 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
676 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
678 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
680 * 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=
682 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
684 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
686 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
688 * register catalog database signature as file magic
692 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
694 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
696 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
700 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
702 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
704 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
706 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
708 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
