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 * When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
14 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
16 * shorten the message to sane length:
18 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.
20 * systemctl --root=container/ set-default ... is totally borked.
24 * ps should gain colums for slice
26 * Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
27 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
29 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
31 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
35 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
36 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
37 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
38 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
39 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
40 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
42 * machinectl bash completion is missing
43 * busctl bash and zsh completions are outdated
45 * Introduce PrivateDevices=yes/no which works like PrivateTmp= but for /dev setting up a tmpfs for it that only includes /dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/random, /dev/urandom, but nothing else.
47 * libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
50 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
51 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
52 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
53 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
54 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
55 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
56 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
57 the hierarchies of child processes
60 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
61 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
62 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
65 - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
67 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
69 * move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
71 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
73 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
75 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
77 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
79 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
81 * socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
83 * 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
85 * Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
87 * move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
89 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
91 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
92 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
95 * When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
96 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
97 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
99 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
101 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
102 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
103 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
105 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
107 * make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
109 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
111 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
113 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
114 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
115 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
116 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
117 check for that and suppress event handling.
119 * something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
121 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
122 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
125 - let the activator peek the peer connection with KDBUS_CMD_MSG_SRC and log it
126 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
127 - implement monitor logic
128 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
129 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
130 - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
131 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
132 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
133 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
136 * priority inheritance
137 - check sender of response messages
140 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
142 - "const" properties (posted)
143 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
144 - make use of "drop" ioctl in pid 1 bus activation
145 - bus proxy: override unique id sender for messages from driver to match the well-known name
146 - bus driver: GetNameOwner() for "org.freedesktop.DBus" should return "org.freedesktop.DBus"
149 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
151 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
152 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
153 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
155 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
156 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
158 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
160 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
162 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
163 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
165 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
167 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
169 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
171 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
173 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
175 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
178 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
179 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
181 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
183 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
184 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
187 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
188 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
189 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
192 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
193 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
195 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
197 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
199 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
200 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
201 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
204 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
205 need manual exponential loops after all
207 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
208 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
209 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
210 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
212 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
213 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
214 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
217 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
219 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
221 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
223 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
225 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
227 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
229 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
231 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
233 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
234 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
235 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
238 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
240 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
243 - write man page for efi boot generator
244 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
245 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
246 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
248 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
250 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
252 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
253 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
255 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
257 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
260 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
261 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
262 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
263 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
264 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
265 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
266 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
267 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
268 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
269 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
270 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
271 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
272 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
273 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
274 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
277 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
279 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
282 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
283 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
284 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
285 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
286 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
287 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
288 - journal: reuse XZ context
289 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
290 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
291 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
292 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
293 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
294 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
295 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
296 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
297 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
298 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
299 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
300 - 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.
301 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
302 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
303 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
304 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
305 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
306 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
307 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
308 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
309 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
310 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
311 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
312 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
313 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
314 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
315 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
316 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
317 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
318 to syslog when it works again.
319 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
320 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
321 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
322 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
323 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
326 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
327 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
328 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
329 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
330 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
331 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
332 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
333 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
334 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
335 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
336 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
337 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
338 - man: add more examples to man pages
339 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
342 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
343 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
344 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
345 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
346 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
347 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
348 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
349 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
350 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
351 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
352 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
353 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
354 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
355 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
356 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
357 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
358 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
361 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
362 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
363 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
364 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
365 unit however should remove them all).
366 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
367 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
369 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
371 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
374 - timer events with system resume
375 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
376 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
378 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
379 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
380 - 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
381 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
382 - anacron-like feature
384 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
386 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
387 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
388 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
389 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
390 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
391 user did not request anything like it.
393 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
394 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
395 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
397 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
398 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
399 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
400 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
401 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
402 better supported alternative.
404 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
406 * 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().
408 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
409 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
412 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
414 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
416 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
418 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
419 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
420 - superset of tmpfiles model
421 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
422 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
423 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
425 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
426 waiting for the timeout
428 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
430 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
433 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
434 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
435 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
436 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
437 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
438 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
439 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
440 interfaces to the container
441 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
442 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
443 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
444 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
445 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
446 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
448 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
451 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
452 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
453 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
454 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
456 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
457 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
459 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
461 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
463 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
464 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
466 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
468 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
470 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
472 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
474 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
476 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
478 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
480 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
482 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
484 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
485 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
486 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
487 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
488 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
489 but much rather a disconnect on success.
491 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
493 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
495 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
497 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
499 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
502 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
503 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
504 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
505 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
506 - system-wide seccomp filter
508 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
509 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
511 * introduce Type=pid-file
513 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
515 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
517 * automount: implement expire:
518 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
519 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
520 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
521 - blocking, needs a thread
523 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
525 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
526 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
528 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
531 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
534 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
536 * 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
538 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
540 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
542 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
544 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
546 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
548 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
550 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
552 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
554 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
555 needs to be auto-respawned?
557 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
560 - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
561 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
563 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
565 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
567 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
569 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
570 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
572 * move PAM code into its own binary
574 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
575 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
577 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
579 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
581 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
583 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
584 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
585 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
587 * support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
589 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
590 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
592 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
595 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
596 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
597 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
598 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
599 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
601 * add support for /bin/mount -s
603 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
605 * write blog stories about:
606 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
607 - enabling dbus services
609 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
611 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
612 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
613 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
615 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
616 - the journal HTTP iface
617 - non-cgroup resource management
618 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
619 - refreshed, longer missions statement
620 - calendar time events
621 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
622 - how to create your own target
623 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
624 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
626 * allow port=0 in .socket units
628 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
630 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
632 * Support --test based on current system state
634 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
636 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
638 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
640 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
643 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
644 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
647 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
649 * io priority during initialization
651 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
654 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
656 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
659 - plot per-process IO utilization
660 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
661 - document initcall_debug
662 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
665 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
666 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
668 - Check if Driver= is broken, or just my driver (bcma)
671 - improve container support, and add support for entering containers when reading
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 - allow opting out of receiving DNS servers over DHCPv4
678 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
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)
