3 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5 * isolate multi-user.target doesn't start a getty@tty1 if we run it from graphical.target
6 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688661
8 * NFS, networkmanager ordering issue (PENDING)
10 * NM should pull in network.target (PENDING)
11 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692008
13 * ntpd should pull in rtc-set.target. (PENDING)
15 * add fstab fields to add wait timeouts, change Wants to Requires by local-fs.target
17 * hook emergency.target into local-fs.target in some way as OnFailure with isolate
19 * bind mounts are ignored
21 * 0595f9a1c182a84581749823ef47c5f292e545f9 is borked, freezes shutdown
22 (path: after installing inotify watches, recheck file again to fix race)
24 * bluetooth should be possible to disable
26 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
30 * don't trim empty cgroups
31 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678555
33 * serialize used job ids and max job id
35 * expose monotonic timestamps on the bus and make systemd-analyze use it
37 * write blog stories about:
38 - chroot, nspawn and friends
39 - the blame game: systemd-analyze
40 - enabling dbus services
43 * allow port = 0 in .socket units
45 * rename systemd-logger to systemd-stdio-syslog-bridge
47 * introduce /usr/lib/binfmt.d/, /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/
49 * in pam_systemd: don't rely on /proc/self/loginuid in a container
51 * take BSD file lock on tty devices when using them?
53 * tmpfiles should allow two identical lines
54 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690253
56 * avoid any flag files, or readahead files in /, we need to support r/o /
57 or / on tmpfs like Android setups.
59 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
61 * get process transport into dbus for systemctl -P/-H
63 * document default dependencies
65 * support systemd.whitelist=/systemd.blacklist= on the kernel command
68 * Find a way to replace /var/run, /var/lock directories with
69 symlinks during an RPM package upgrade (filesystem.rpm or systemd.rpm).
70 We soon want to get rid of var-run.mount var-lock.mount units.
72 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
74 * get rid of random file name in generator directory?
75 /run/systemd/generator-IH1vFu
77 * fix SD_WARNING syslog stuff in src/sd-daemon.h to include the
78 LOG_DAEMON(3) facility value. Never use the LOG_KERNEL(0) facility.
80 * add switch to systemctl to show enabled but not running services. Or
81 another switch that shows service that have been running since
82 booting but aren't running anymore.
84 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
86 * don't strip facility from kmsg log messages as soon as that is possible:
87 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=9d90c8d9cde929cbc575098e825d7c29d9f45054
89 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
91 * be more specific what failed:
93 Unmounting file systems.
94 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
96 Detaching loop devices.
98 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, trying to kill remaining processes.
99 Unmounting file systems.
100 Not all file systems unmounted, 1 left.
101 Cannot finalize remaining file systems and devices, giving up.
104 * check for compiled-in, but not active selinux, and don't print any warnings
105 about policy loading. Probably check for available selinux in /proc/filesystems,
106 and check for active selinux with getcon_raw() == "kernel"
108 * optionally create watched directories in .path units
110 * Support --test based on current system state
112 * consider services with no [Install] section and stored in /lib enabled by "systemctl is-enabled"
114 * consider services with any kind of link in /etc/systemd/system enabled
116 * show failure error string in "systemctl status"
118 * make sure timeouts are applied to Type=oneshot services.
120 * Maybe implement "systemctl mask" and "systemctl unmask", but not
121 document it? When doing that add switch to make this temporary by
122 placing mask links in /dev.
123 Consider moving the actual fs operations into systemd behind a D-Bus
124 interface, to make namespaces/containers/remote connections work properly.
126 * detect LXC environment
128 * invoke vhangup() before and after invoking getty
129 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c95c985fa91ecf6a0e29622bbdd13dcfc5ce9f1
131 * support "auto" and "comment=systemd.automount" at the same time for an fstab entry
133 * Maybe store in unit files whether a service should be enabled by default on package installation
134 (belongs into a distro pattern though, not in an upstream package's service file)
136 * perhaps add "systemctl reenable" as combination of "systemctl disable" and "systemctl enable"
138 * need a way to apply mount options of api vfs from systemd unit files
139 (or some other modern source?) instead of fstab
141 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
143 * figure out what happened to bluez patch
145 * Patch systemd-fsck to use -C and pass console fd to it
147 * support remote/ssh systemctl/systemadm, and local privileged access → dbus patches need to be merged
149 * configurable jitter for timer events
151 * Support ProcessNeededForShutdown=true to allow stuff like mdmon
152 to be killed very late after the rootfs is read only (?)
154 * Integrate "mdadm --wait-clean". Maybe just let SIGTERM to mdmon trigger the
157 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
159 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
160 - check timerfd() patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/23/290
163 - get PR_SET_ANCHOR merged: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/165
166 - provide CK functionality
167 - start getty only when actual vt switch happens (same model as
168 socket on-demand activation). allocate the next free tty and
169 start a getty there. this way, pressing alt-f[1-12] will switch
170 through running X and getty sessions, and any unallocated
171 activated tty will start a new getty. the hardcoding of
172 getty[1-6] will entirely go away.
173 - http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbc92a3455577ab17615cbcb91826399061bd789
175 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
177 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
179 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
183 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
184 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
187 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
189 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
191 * io priority during initialization
193 * if a service fails too often, make the service enter failed mode, and the socket, too.
195 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
197 * accountsservice is borked
199 * auditd service files
201 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
203 * suspend, resume support?
205 * readahead: btrfs/LVM SSD detection
207 * add separate man page for [Install] settings
209 * allow runtime changing of log level and target
213 * udisks should not use udisks-part-id, instead use blkid. also not probe /dev/loopxxx
215 * snd-seq should go, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676095
217 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
219 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
221 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup.
223 * patch kernel for cpu feature modalias for autoloading aes/kvm/...
224 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/ak/linux-misc-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cpuid-match
225 (Rafael J. Wysocki's sysdev rework is on the way. After that CPUs can be exported a proper bus.)
227 * procps, psmisc, sysvinit-tools, hostname → util-linux-ng

250 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
252 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
254 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
256 * %m in printf() instead of strerror();
260 * CFLAGS="-Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections"
