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 * When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cant't use it in an error message:
27 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
29 * shorten the message to sane length:
31 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.
35 * external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
38 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
40 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
41 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
43 CGroup Rework Completion:
45 * introduce "mainpid" for scopes (or maybe not?)
47 * implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
49 * implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
51 * handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
53 * make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
55 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
57 * wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
61 * Move backlight and random-seed into /var/lib/systemd
63 * If we try to find a unit via a danglign symlink generate a clean
64 error. Currently we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
67 * When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service that
68 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
69 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
71 * backlight: properly handle multiple backlight devices for the same
72 hardware: at shutdown we should only save the backlight setting for
73 the "best" way to access the backlight. Strategy should be: at
74 shutdown, ignore all backlights that are connected to a non-eDP or
75 non-LVDS port, and then prefer the firmware device over platform
76 device over raw device per-PCI card. Delete all old data. At boot
77 simply apply whatever data we find. Also see
78 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libbacklight/tree/libbacklight.c#n194
80 * rfkill: save/restore soft rfkill status across reboots
82 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
84 * ensure scope units may be started only a single time
86 * document that in instead of FsckPassNo= people should just add a manual dep to systemd-fsck@.service to their mount units.
88 * better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
90 * systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
92 * for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
94 * logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
96 * session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
98 * add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
100 * journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
102 * given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
103 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
105 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
107 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
109 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
111 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
113 * 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
115 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
117 * "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
118 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
119 unit however should remove them all).
121 * journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
123 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
125 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
126 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
127 to syslog when it works again.
129 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
131 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
133 * add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
135 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
137 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
139 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
141 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
143 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
145 * libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
146 validity of session name before appending it to a path
148 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
149 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
150 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
151 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
152 check for that and suppress event handling.
154 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
155 the hierarchies of child processes
157 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
159 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
161 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
163 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
165 * change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
166 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
167 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
168 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
170 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
171 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
174 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
175 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
176 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
177 - implement translator service
178 - port systemd to new library
179 - implement busname unit type in systemd
181 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
182 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
183 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
184 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
185 - implement monitor logic
186 - object vtable logic
189 * priority inheritance
191 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
192 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
193 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
195 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
196 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
197 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
200 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
201 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
203 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
205 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
207 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
208 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
210 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
211 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
212 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
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 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
225 * we need dynamic units
227 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
230 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
231 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
232 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
234 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
236 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
237 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
240 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
241 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
242 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
245 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
246 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
248 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
250 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
252 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
253 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
254 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
257 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
258 need manual exponential loops after all
260 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
261 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
262 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
263 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
265 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
267 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
268 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
269 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
272 * rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
274 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
276 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
278 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
280 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
282 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
284 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
286 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
288 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
290 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
292 * man: add more examples to man pages
294 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
296 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
298 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
300 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
301 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
302 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
305 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
307 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
309 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
310 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
311 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
314 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
316 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
319 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
320 - write man page for efi boot generator
321 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
322 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
323 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
325 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
327 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
329 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
330 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
332 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
334 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
337 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
338 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
339 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
340 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
341 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
342 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
343 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
344 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
345 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
346 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
347 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
349 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
351 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
353 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
356 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
357 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
358 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
359 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
360 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
361 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
362 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
363 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
364 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
365 - journal: reuse XZ context
366 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
367 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
368 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
369 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
370 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
371 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
372 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
373 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
374 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
375 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
376 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
377 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
378 - 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.
379 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
380 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
381 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
382 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
383 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
384 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
385 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
386 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
387 - journalctl: expand tabs
388 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
389 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
390 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
391 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
394 - document unit_name_mangle()
395 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
396 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
397 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
398 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
399 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
400 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
401 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
402 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
405 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
406 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
407 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
408 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
409 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
410 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
411 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
412 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
413 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
414 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
415 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
416 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
417 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
419 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
421 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
424 - configurable jitter for timer events
425 - timer events with system resume
426 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
427 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
429 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
431 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
433 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
434 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
435 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
436 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
437 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
438 user did not request anything like it.
440 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
441 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
442 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
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 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
453 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
455 * 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().
457 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
458 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
462 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
464 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
466 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
468 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
470 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
471 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
472 - superset of tmpfiles model
473 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
474 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
475 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
477 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
478 waiting for the timeout
480 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
482 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
484 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
486 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
489 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
490 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
491 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
492 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
493 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
494 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
495 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
496 interfaces to the container
497 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
498 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
499 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
502 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
503 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
504 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
505 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
507 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
509 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
510 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
512 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
514 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
516 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
517 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
519 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
521 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
523 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
525 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
527 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
529 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
531 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
533 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
535 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
537 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
539 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
540 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
541 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
542 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
543 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
544 but much rather a disconnect on success.
546 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
548 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
550 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
552 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
554 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
556 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
559 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
560 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
561 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
562 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
563 - system-wide seccomp filter
565 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
567 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
568 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
570 * introduce Type=pid-file
572 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
574 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
576 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
578 * automount: implement expire:
579 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
580 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
581 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
582 - blocking, needs a thread
584 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
586 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
587 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
589 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
591 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
594 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
596 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
598 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
600 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
602 * 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
604 * support container_ttys=
606 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
608 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
610 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
612 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
614 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
616 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
618 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
620 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
622 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
624 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
626 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
627 needs to be auto-respawned?
629 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
631 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
633 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
635 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
637 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
639 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
640 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
642 * move PAM code into its own binary
644 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
645 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
647 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
649 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
651 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
653 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
654 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
655 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
657 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets.
659 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
660 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
662 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
665 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
666 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
667 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
668 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
669 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
671 * add support for /bin/mount -s
673 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
675 * write blog stories about:
676 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
677 - enabling dbus services
679 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
681 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
682 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
683 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
685 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
686 - the journal HTTP iface
687 - non-cgroup resource management
688 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
689 - refreshed, longer missions statement
690 - calendar time events
691 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
692 - how to create your own target
693 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
694 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
696 * allow port=0 in .socket units
698 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
700 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
702 * Support --test based on current system state
704 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
706 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
708 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
710 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
711 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
715 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
716 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
719 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
721 * io priority during initialization
723 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
726 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
728 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
731 - plot per-process IO utilization
732 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
733 - document initcall_debug
734 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
736 * systemd-run is missing zsh completion scripts
742 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
743 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
744 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
745 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
746 - always pass cred data along each message
747 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
749 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
751 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
753 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
755 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
756 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
757 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
758 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
761 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
763 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
765 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
767 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
769 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
771 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
773 * 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=
775 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
777 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
779 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
783 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
785 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
787 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
789 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
793 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
795 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
797 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
799 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
801 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
