2 * enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.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.
13 * shorten the message to sane length:
15 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.
17 * systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
21 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
22 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
24 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
26 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
30 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
32 * man: move .link, .network and .netdev documentation into their own
33 man pages maybe called "systemd.link(5)", "systemd.network(5)" and
34 "systemd.netdev(5)" or so.
36 * extend device cgroup controller support to allow enabling groups of
37 device nodes, so that pts can be allowed in whole. For that,
38 introduce the syntax "block-XYZ" and "char-XYZ" in addition to the
39 existing "/dev/foobar", where XYZ then is looked up in /proc/devices
40 and mapped to one or more majors.
42 * Add all pts device nodes to those allowed by default when the device
45 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
48 * systemctl (and possibly related tools): support a new switch that
49 allows enumerating units in local containers recursively. "systemctl
50 list-units -R" or so should not only lists on the host, but also the
51 services in all containers in a pretty way, to give an overview of
52 the entire system. Also, maybe add "systemctl list-machines" which
53 works like "machinectl list" but includes information about the
54 health status of each registered machine. For that we should
55 probably implement something that encodes the system health status
56 in a single enum state, i.e. something like a system-wide state
57 starting → running → failed → stopping, that is based on the current
58 job queue and a check for failed services. Maybe then change
59 "systemctl status" without args to output this state along with a
60 selection of other data, such as the uptime or so.
62 * Add a seccomp-based filter for socket() calls to limit services to
63 specific address families (for example: AF_UNIX), inspired by
66 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
67 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
70 * add a timelimit to generator invocation
72 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
73 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
74 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
75 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
76 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
78 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
80 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
81 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
82 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
83 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
84 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
85 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
88 - busctl zsh completion is outdated
89 - systemd-nspawn -Z/-L/-q is missing for zsh
90 - systemd-nspawn completion is missing for bash
91 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
94 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
95 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
96 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
97 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
98 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
99 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
100 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
101 the hierarchies of child processes
104 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
105 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
106 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
108 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
110 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
112 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
114 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
116 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
118 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
120 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
122 * socket-proxyd: Use sd-resolve to resolve the server address
124 * 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
126 * move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
128 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
130 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
131 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
134 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
136 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
137 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
138 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
140 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
142 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
144 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
146 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
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 * something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
156 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
157 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
160 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
161 - implement monitor logic
162 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
163 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
164 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
165 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
166 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
167 - longer term: priority inheritance
168 - check sender of response messages
171 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
173 - "const" properties (posted)
174 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
175 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
176 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
177 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
178 - test bloom filter generation indexes
179 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
180 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
181 - constructors for bus messages should probably not be OK with a NULL bus pointer
184 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
186 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
187 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
188 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
190 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
192 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
193 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
195 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
197 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
199 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
201 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
203 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
205 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
208 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
209 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
211 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
213 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
214 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
217 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
218 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
219 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
222 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
223 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
225 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
227 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
228 need manual exponential loops after all
230 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
231 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
232 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
233 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
235 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
236 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
237 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
240 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
242 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
244 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
246 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
248 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
250 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
252 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
254 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
256 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
257 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
258 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
261 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
263 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
266 - write man page for efi boot generator
267 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
268 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
269 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
271 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
273 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
275 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
276 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
278 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
280 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
283 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
284 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
285 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
286 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
287 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
288 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
289 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
290 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
291 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
292 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
293 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
294 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
295 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
298 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
300 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
303 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
304 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
305 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
306 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
307 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
308 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
309 - journal: reuse XZ context
310 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
311 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
312 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
313 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
314 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
315 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
316 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
317 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
318 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
319 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
320 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
321 - 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.
322 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
323 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
324 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
325 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
326 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
327 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
328 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
329 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
330 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
331 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
332 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
333 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
334 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
335 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
336 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
337 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
338 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
339 to syslog when it works again.
340 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
341 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
342 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
343 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
344 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
347 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
348 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
349 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
350 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
351 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
352 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
353 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
354 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
355 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
356 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
357 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
358 - man: add more examples to man pages
359 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
362 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
363 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
364 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
365 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
366 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
367 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
368 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
369 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
370 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
371 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
372 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
373 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
374 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
375 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
376 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
377 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
378 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
381 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
382 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
383 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
384 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
385 unit however should remove them all).
386 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
387 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
389 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
391 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
394 - timer events with system resume
395 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
396 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
398 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
399 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
400 - 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
401 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
402 - anacron-like feature
404 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
406 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
407 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
408 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
409 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
410 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
411 user did not request anything like it.
413 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
414 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
415 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
417 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
418 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
419 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
420 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
421 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
422 better supported alternative.
424 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
426 * 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().
428 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
429 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
432 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
434 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
436 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
438 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
439 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
440 - superset of tmpfiles model
441 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
442 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
443 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
445 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
446 waiting for the timeout
448 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
450 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
453 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with /usr/bin/getent, so that NSS resolving works correctly
454 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
455 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
456 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
457 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
458 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
459 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
460 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
461 - maybe: hookup nspawn and PrivateNetwork=yes with "ip netns"
462 - allow booting disk images with a GPT signature using the bootloaderspec partition uuids
465 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
466 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
467 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
468 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
470 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
471 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
473 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
475 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
477 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
478 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
480 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
482 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
484 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
486 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
488 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
490 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
492 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
494 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
496 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
497 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
498 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
499 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
500 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
501 but much rather a disconnect on success.
503 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
505 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
507 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
509 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
511 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
513 * syscall filter: optionally don't enforce no new privs?
515 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
516 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
518 * introduce Type=pid-file
520 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
522 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
524 * automount: implement expire:
525 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
526 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
527 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
528 - blocking, needs a thread
530 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
532 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
533 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
535 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
538 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
541 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
542 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
544 * 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
546 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
548 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
550 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
552 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
554 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
556 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
558 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
560 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
562 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
563 needs to be auto-respawned?
565 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
568 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
569 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
571 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
573 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
575 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
577 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
578 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
580 * move PAM code into its own binary
582 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
583 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
585 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
587 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
589 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
591 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
592 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
593 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
595 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
597 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
598 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
600 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
603 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
604 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
605 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
606 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
607 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
609 * add support for /bin/mount -s
611 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
613 * write blog stories about:
614 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
615 - enabling dbus services
617 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
619 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
620 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
621 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
623 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
624 - the journal HTTP iface
625 - non-cgroup resource management
626 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
627 - refreshed, longer missions statement
628 - calendar time events
629 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
630 - how to create your own target
631 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
632 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
634 * allow port=0 in .socket units
636 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
638 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
640 * Support --test based on current system state
642 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
644 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
646 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
648 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
650 * io priority during initialization
652 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
655 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
657 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
660 - plot per-process IO utilization
661 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
662 - document initcall_debug
663 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
666 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
667 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
671 - add support for exiting containers without reading them fully first
672 - add support for more attribute types
675 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
676 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
677 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
678 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
683 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
684 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
686 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
688 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
690 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
692 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
693 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
694 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
695 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
698 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
700 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
702 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
704 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
706 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
708 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
710 * 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=
712 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
714 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
716 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
720 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
722 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
724 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
728 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
730 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
732 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
734 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
736 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
