3 * Re-enable "fsck -l" when it is ready:
4 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576#c5
6 * Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
8 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
9 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
10 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
12 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
14 After killing 'systemd --user', systemctl restart user@... fails.
15 /run/user/1000/systemd/notify has to be removed manually.
17 ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_quoted:
20 Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
21 ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
23 MEMORY return code is overloaded for syntax errors in the commandline.
24 str_split_quoted() should return a real return code, so spawn_child can
25 report the failure properly.
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
33 * Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
35 * Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
37 * wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
39 * When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
40 compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
44 * what to do about udev db binary stability for apps?
46 * add a system-wide shutdown timeout, similar to the startup timeout we already have (see fdo bz #84110)
48 * maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
50 * kdbus: maybe rename "connection name" concept to something that doesn't reuse the word "name"?
52 * PID 1 doesn't apply nspawns devices cgroup policy
54 * rework journal-send.c to use memfds for large blobs if they are available instead of unlinked files in /tmp. Also, if we detect that the kernel knows memfds, refuse anything but sealed memfds.
56 * maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
58 * man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
60 * bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
61 handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
62 cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
65 * busctl: add a pcap writer, using LINKTYPE_DBUS/231
67 * man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
69 * introduce machines.target to order after all nspawn instances
71 * systemd-nspawn@.service should fail if some nspawn arg is invalid, with Type=notify
73 * "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
75 * systemctl: if it fails, show log output?
77 * maybe add "systemctl edit" that copies unit files from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /etc/systemd/system and invokes vim on them
79 * dbus: add new message hdr field for allowing interactive auth, write spec for it. update dbus spec to mandate that unknown flags *must* be ignored...
81 * maybe introduce AssertXYZ= similar to ConditionXYZ= that causes a unit to fail (instead of skipping it) if some condition is not true...
83 * remove multi-seat-x now
85 * refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
87 * exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
89 * apply start timeout during the "initializing" manager state only,
90 instead of both "initializing" and "starting". maybe rename the
91 timeout to "initialization-timeout" then or so?
93 * journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
96 * tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
98 * unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
99 currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
100 parsing callbacks should use it.
102 * logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
103 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
104 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
107 * merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
109 * journald: allows specification of UID range for splitting up journal files
111 * systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
115 - add LLDP client side support
116 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
117 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
118 - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
119 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
120 - expose in the API the following bits:
121 - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
122 - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
123 - option 100, 101, timezone
124 - option 123, 144, geolocation
125 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
126 - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
127 NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
128 to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
129 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
130 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
133 - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
134 we always process them before we process client requests
136 - use base64 for key presentation?
137 - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
138 - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
143 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
148 * Ignore .busname units on classic D-Bus boots, systemd-resolved cannot be started on kdbus
149 without the active policy and should get a Wants=org.freedesktop.resolve1.busname to
152 * Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
154 * Add a new verb "systemctl top"
156 * logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
158 * add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
160 * support empty /etc boots nicely:
161 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
162 - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
163 - fstab-generator: add support for usr= in addition to root= on the kernel cmdline
165 * generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
167 * support setting empty environment variables with Environment= and EnvironmentFile=
169 * timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
171 * a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
173 * figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
175 * journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
177 * mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
179 * For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
180 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
182 * 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)
184 * sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
186 * expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
188 * add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
190 * consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
192 * sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
194 * gpt-auto-generator:
195 - Support LUKS for root devices
196 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
197 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
199 * improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
200 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
201 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
202 the most common operations.
204 * add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
205 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
206 when it is otherwise off
208 * MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
210 * "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
213 * implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
214 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
217 * socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
218 opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
219 a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
220 and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
221 to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
223 * New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
225 * introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
226 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
227 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
228 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
229 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
230 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
233 - manager property enumeration was broken when systemd moved to /usr/lib/
236 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
237 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
238 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
239 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
240 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
241 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
242 the hierarchies of child processes
245 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
246 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
247 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
249 * Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
251 * when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
253 * machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
255 * libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
257 * be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
259 * unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
261 * 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
263 * After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
265 * If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
266 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
269 * refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
271 * given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
272 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
273 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
275 * btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
277 * make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
279 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
281 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
283 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
284 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
287 - when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
288 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
289 - allow updating attach flags during runtime
290 - pid1: peek into activating message when activating a service
291 - introduce sd_bus_emit_object_added()/sd_bus_emit_object_removed() that automatically includes the build-in interfaces in the list
292 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
293 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
294 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
295 - make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
296 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
297 - longer term: priority inheritance
300 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
302 - "const" properties (posted)
304 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
305 - test bloom filter generation indexes
308 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
309 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
311 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
312 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
313 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
315 * investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
317 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
318 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
320 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
322 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
324 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
326 * timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
328 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
331 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
332 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
334 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
335 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
336 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
339 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
340 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
342 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
344 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
345 need manual exponential loops after all
347 * BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
348 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
349 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
352 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
353 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
354 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
357 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
359 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
361 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
363 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
365 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
367 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
369 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
371 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
373 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
376 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
377 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
378 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
380 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
382 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
384 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
385 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
387 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
389 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
392 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
393 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
394 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
395 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
396 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
397 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
398 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
399 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
400 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
401 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
402 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
405 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
407 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
410 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
411 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
412 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
413 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
414 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
415 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
416 - journal: reuse XZ context
417 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
418 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
419 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
420 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
421 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
422 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
423 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
424 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
425 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
426 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
427 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
428 - 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.
429 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
430 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
431 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
432 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
433 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
434 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
435 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
436 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
437 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
438 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
439 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
440 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
441 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
442 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
443 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
444 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
445 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
446 to syslog when it works again.
447 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
448 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
449 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
450 so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
451 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
454 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
455 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
456 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
457 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
458 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
459 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
460 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
461 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
462 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
463 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
464 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
465 - man: add more examples to man pages
466 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
469 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
470 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
471 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
472 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
473 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
474 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
475 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
476 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
477 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
478 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
479 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
480 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
481 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
482 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
485 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
486 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
487 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
490 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
491 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
493 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
494 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
495 - 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
496 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
498 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
500 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
501 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
502 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
503 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
504 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
505 user did not request anything like it.
507 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
509 * 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().
511 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
512 * fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
515 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
517 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
519 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
520 waiting for the timeout
522 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
524 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
527 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
528 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
529 - support taking a btrfs snapshot at startup and dropping it afterwards
532 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
533 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
534 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
535 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
537 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
538 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
540 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
542 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
544 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
546 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
548 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
550 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
552 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
554 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
555 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
556 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
557 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
558 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
559 but much rather a disconnect on success.
561 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
563 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
565 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
567 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
568 verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
570 * introduce Type=pid-file
572 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
574 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
576 * automount: implement expire:
577 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
578 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
579 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
580 - blocking, needs a thread
582 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
584 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
585 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
587 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
592 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
593 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
595 * 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
597 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
599 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
601 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
603 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
605 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
607 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
609 * default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
611 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
612 needs to be auto-respawned?
614 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
617 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
619 * for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
621 * hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
623 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
625 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
626 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
628 * move PAM code into its own binary
630 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
631 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
633 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
635 * add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
637 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
638 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
639 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
641 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
642 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
644 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
647 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
648 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
649 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
650 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
651 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
653 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
655 * write blog stories about:
656 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
657 - enabling dbus services
659 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
661 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
662 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
663 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
665 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
666 - the journal HTTP iface
667 - non-cgroup resource management
668 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
669 - refreshed, longer missions statement
670 - calendar time events
671 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
672 - how to create your own target
673 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
674 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
676 * allow port=0 in .socket units
678 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
680 * Support --test based on current system state
682 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
684 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
686 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
688 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
690 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
693 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
695 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
698 - plot per-process IO utilization
699 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
700 - document initcall_debug
701 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
704 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
705 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
707 - check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
710 - add support for more attribute types
711 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
714 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
715 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
716 - add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
717 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
718 - add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
719 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
720 - add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
721 - work with non-ethernet devices
722 - add support for more bond options
724 * networkd-wait-online:
725 - make operstates to wait for configurable?
728 - figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
729 - export timezone information
730 - support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
733 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
734 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
735 - write more test cases
736 - implement and do duplicate address detection, see rfc 4862, 5.4.
737 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.

739 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
740 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
741 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
742 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
744 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
750 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
751 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
753 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
755 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
757 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
759 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
761 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
763 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and should not
765 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
767 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
769 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
771 * 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=
773 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
775 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
777 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
779 * register catalog database signature as file magic
781 * zsh shell completion: <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently
786 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
788 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
790 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
794 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 does not free()!
796 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
798 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
800 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
802 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
