3 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
5 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
6 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
7 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
11 * ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
14 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
15 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
17 * MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the command line.
18 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
19 report the failure properly.
23 * Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
25 * Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
27 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
29 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
31 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
33 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
34 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
38 * add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
39 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
40 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
41 returning from the "systemctl stop".
43 * increase CORE resource limit by default for all services, so that coredumpctl becomes useful
45 * firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine.
47 * timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
49 * networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
51 * expose orientation sensors through logind
53 * add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
55 * resolved: maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
57 * resolved: maybe compare query section of DNS replies
59 * machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
61 * maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
63 * kdbus: set the bus-wide creds sender requirement mask to ANY
65 * kdbus: busnames.target should get pulled in by basic.target
67 * code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
69 * logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
71 * optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
73 * journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
75 * introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
77 * systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
79 * configure.ac pretends dbus was optional but actually hardcodes use of dbus' pkg-config file to determine various dbus dirs such as policy and activation dirs
81 * consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
83 * dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
85 * maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
86 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
88 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
90 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
92 * PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
94 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
96 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
98 * bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
99 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
100 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
103 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
105 * introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
107 * systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
109 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
111 * systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
113 * maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
115 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
117 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
119 * journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
122 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
124 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
125 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
126 parsing callbacks should use it.
128 * logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
129 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
130 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
133 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
135 * journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
137 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
141 - add LLDP client side support
142 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
143 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
144 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
145 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
146 - expose in the API the following bits:
147 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
148 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
149 - option 100, 101, timezone
150 - option 123, 144, geolocation
151 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
152 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
153 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
154 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
155 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
156 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
157 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
158 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
161 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
162 we always process them before we process client requests
164 - use base64 for key presentation?
165 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
166 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
171 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
176 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
177 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
180 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
182 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
184 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
186 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
188 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
189 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
190 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
192 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
194 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
196 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
198 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
200 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
202 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
204 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
206 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
207 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
209 * Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
211 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
213 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
215 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
217 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
219 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
221 * gpt-auto-generator:
222 - Support LUKS for root devices
223 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
224 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
226 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
227 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
228 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
229 the most common operations.
231 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
232 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
233 when it is otherwise off
235 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
237 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
240 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
241 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
244 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
245 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
246 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
247 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
248 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
250 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
252 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
253 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
254 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
255 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
256 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
257 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
260 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
263 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
264 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
265 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
266 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
267 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
268 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
269 the hierarchies of child processes
272 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
273 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
274 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
276 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
278 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
280 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
282 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
284 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
286 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
288 * 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
290 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
292 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
293 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
296 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
298 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
299 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
300 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
302 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
304 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
306 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
308 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
310 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
311 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
314 - kdbus: maybe add euid, egid, fsuid, fsgid, controlling tty and ppid metadata fields
315 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
316 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
317 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
318 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
319 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
320 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
321 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
322 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
323 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
324 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
325 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
326 - longer term: priority inheritance
329 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
332 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
333 - test bloom filter generation indexes
336 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
337 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
339 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
340 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
341 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
343 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
345 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
346 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
348 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
350 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
352 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
354 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
357 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
358 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
360 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
361 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
362 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
365 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
366 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
368 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
370 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
371 need manual exponential loops after all
373 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
374 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
375 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
378 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
379 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
380 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
383 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
385 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
387 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
389 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
391 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
393 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
395 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
397 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
400 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
401 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
402 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
404 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
406 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
408 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
409 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
411 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
413 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
416 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
417 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
418 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
419 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
420 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
421 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
422 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
423 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
424 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
425 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
426 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
429 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
431 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
434 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
435 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
436 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
437 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
438 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
439 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
440 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
441 - journal: reuse XZ context
442 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
443 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
444 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
445 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
446 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
447 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
448 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
449 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
450 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
451 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
452 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
453 - 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.
454 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
455 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
456 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
457 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
458 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
459 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
460 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
461 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
462 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
463 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
464 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
465 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
466 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
467 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
468 to syslog when it works again.
469 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
470 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
471 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
472 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
473 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
476 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
477 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
478 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
479 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
480 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
481 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
482 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
483 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
484 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
485 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
486 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
487 - man: add more examples to man pages
488 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
491 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
492 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
493 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
494 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
495 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
496 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
497 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
498 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
499 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
500 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
501 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
502 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
503 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
504 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
507 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
508 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
509 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
512 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
513 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
515 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
516 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
517 - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
518 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
520 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
522 * 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().
524 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
525 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
528 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
530 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
532 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
533 waiting for the timeout
535 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
537 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
540 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
541 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
542 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
545 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
546 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
547 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
548 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
550 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it

553 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
555 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
557 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
559 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
561 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
563 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
565 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
566 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
567 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
568 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
569 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
570 but much rather a disconnect on success.
572 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
574 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
576 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
578 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
579 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
581 * introduce Type=pid-file
583 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
585 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
587 * automount: implement expire:
588 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
589 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
590 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
591 - blocking, needs a thread
593 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
595 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
596 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
598 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
603 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
604 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
606 * 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
608 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
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 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
622 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
623 needs to be auto-respawned?
625 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
628 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
630 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
632 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
634 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
636 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
637 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
639 * move PAM code into its own binary
641 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
642 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
644 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
646 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
648 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
649 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
650 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
652 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
653 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
655 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
657 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
659 * write blog stories about:
660 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
661 - enabling dbus services
663 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
665 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
666 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
667 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
669 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
670 - the journal HTTP iface
671 - non-cgroup resource management
672 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
673 - refreshed, longer missions statement
674 - calendar time events
675 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
676 - how to create your own target
677 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
678 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
680 * allow port=0 in .socket units
682 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
684 * Support --test based on current system state
686 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
688 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
690 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
692 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
695 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
697 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
700 - plot per-process IO utilization
701 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
702 - document initcall_debug
703 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
706 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
707 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
709 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
712 - add support for more attribute types
713 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
716 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
717 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
718 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
719 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
720 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
721 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases

730 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
731 - export timezone information
732 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
735 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
736 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
737 - write more test cases
738 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
739 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
740 - implement information request, see 1.2. and 18.1.5.
741 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
742 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
743 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
744 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
746 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
752 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
753 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
755 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
757 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
759 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
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 should not
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
781 * register catalog database signature as file magic
783 * zsh shell completion:
784 - <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
785 - systemctl add-wants,add-requires
790 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
792 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
794 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
798 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
800 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
802 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
804 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
806 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
